Even while banks and industry have been losing their enthusiasm for the Chinese market--following Chinese cancellation of construction contracts with both the U.S. and Japan--the ranks of Real-polltakers believing in China's military importance have grown.

Even in its championship season of 1978, the Washington Bullets professional basketball team attracted only polite support. Enthusiasm for the local hockey team, the Capitals, and various college teams in the vicinity is also meager. In contrast, the Redskins have sold out 122 consecutive home games, the league record by far. Meanwhile, Texans wholeheartedly embrace only two sports, as Jones Ramsey, the venerable University of Texas promoter, pronounced...
