...depth of his Asia experience and the sense that he understands the concerns of policymakers on this side of the Pacific are now of paramount importance. Chinese leaders have expressed deep concerns about the Obama Administration's efforts to shore up companies and the economy with massive government spending programs, and it is up to Geithner to provide assurances that the value of China's vast holdings of U.S. bonds will not be debased as a result of America's rising deficits. Indeed, a question Geithner heard from a bright young Peking University student is the same...
