...scrapes against international norms and habits of a different era, the sparks won't stop coming from Beijing. Chinese cyberattacks, trade games, asymmetric-war experiments - all these are part of our future. They won't stop just because the Chinese are being friendlier this week. Nor will the fact that our actions, even ones intended to reassure China, will often unnerve it. We have to accept that tension with China is unavoidable and that removing tension is not a strategy. To be sure, a vision that aims for a concept of co-evolution with China will be harder...

"When President Bakiyev came to power, he very harshly criticized the deposed President, [Askar] Akayev, for his family values, for the fact that his relatives had positions throughout the Kyrgyz economy. I have the impression that Mr. Bakiyev has been stepping on the same rakes," he said, alluding to the fact that Bakiyev appointed family members, including his son, to top government posts.

No problem of international politics can be solved without a coherent China strategy. So the more interesting question...

...many in Beijing, the U.S. looks weak. Chinese intellectuals often pair 9/11 with what they call 9/14 - the day news broke of Lehman Brothers' 2008 collapse - as mileposts of Western decline. There is a sense of American haziness that is reinforced by the fact that our leaders have often shown only a rudimentary understanding of what we might call Real China - the harsh, smashmouth China familiar to anyone who works in its streets and corridors of power. This is the China that has grown for 30 years at an average rate of some 10% a year with no rule...

...rise. A revaluation will help China rebalance its economy by increasing the attractiveness of imports from everywhere; both developing nations like Vietnam and Thailand, whose own industrial development has been stunted by an undervalued RMB, to traditional manufacturing powers like Japan and South Korea will all likely benefit. That fact might not win votes in rust belt America - and the U.S. Congress may be only temporarily appeased - but it is a fact: The global economy desperately needs China to pull more weight, and a stronger RMB helps...
