...What have you done to help relations with China? -Mandy Deng in ChinaI normalized diplomatic relations with China in 1979. Immediately after that, Deng Xiaoping, who was the premier of China, asked if the Carter Center would help him in the democratization of these little villages-there are about 650,000 of them and they are not part of the Communist party structure. So he and subsequent governments have ordained that those villages can have a democratic election. The Carter Center has had a contract with the government of China now for roughly 10 years to monitor the compliance...
