...ruthless undermining of Chinese dignity." The West needs to remember that this excitability among internal forces emerges as a result of China's success and not always because of what we do or don't do. It's an instinct that won't disappear in the face of U.S. concessions or growing Chinese wealth. If the U.S. keeps waiting for China to get rich enough or developed enough to buy easily into the American model of the world, then it will wait forever...

Still, it is possible to imagine a way forward that balances U.S. interests against the need to change in the face of a changing world.

...dramatically rescued. In China, where mine disasters are grimly commonplace, the rescue was trumpeted as a miracle. And in the U.S., where mine safety is sometimes seen as a question that was resolved decades ago, the death of at least 25 men a painful reminder of the risks they face...
