...China and the World Stage John Lee's clear reminder of China's vastly different historical perspective versus that of the U.S. is a point not made often enough [March 8].

Lee misses one key factor, though, regarding China's seemingly silent role on the world stage: rather than seeing it as beneath them, China's leaders have avoided interfering in other countries' affairs for the simple reason that they don't want anyone having reason to interfere with their...

Such gatherings have often turned into riots, with mobs throwing stones at nearby Israelis and tourists. The city's police, invariably, have been caught in the middle, trying to prevent flare-ups and casualties that could spark new rounds of violence. To do so, the police block access to prayers at the Muslim holy sites...
