...dean of Yale's School of Management. "So it's healthy that we have a national debate over what we transfer and what we hold back." Engagement with China rests on scores of such decisions, and virtually no one, not even in the white heat of the Cox report, is seriously calling for Washington to disengage...
...danger is that Clinton's implacable critics, armed with the Cox report, will vent their outrage on the entire Sino-American relationship.
