...fundamentally different countries. China is ruled by an authoritarian regime that seeks to increase its military influence abroad. The U.S., on the other hand, is a status quo power that wants to impose its political ideals on other countries. Despite the oft-voiced desire for "partnership" between the two nations, it seems that there is little for them to agree on. While the mistaken bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade was, in and of itself, a minor incident, it has removed the Band-Aids that had been applied to cover this gaping wound in the U.S.-China relationship. Good...
...Clinton Administration has sought positive relations with China, but it will take something more meaningful than simply a willingness to forgive to keep the U.S.-China partnership together. Accusations have surfaced that the Clinton Administration ignored evidence of Chinese nuclear espionage and illegal money transfers in order to improve relations. If the alliance is an artificial one without strong foundation, the combined effect of such provocations (as well as what is likely to be a steady stream of human rights violations) will eventually break any U.S. consensus for partnership.

Is the new Ma Cable moving a little too fast? Not if the deal was Microsoft's price for staying...
Imagine (which is in partnership with Disney's Touchstone Television) is also nurturing unknown talent. After seeing The Script Doctor, a short film made for just $150 by the Fields brothers, a Cleveland, Ohio, threesome who worked in their father's wedding-video business, the company hired them to develop Student Affairs. And New York independent filmmaker Noah Baumbach, 29, got a telephone call from Imagine inviting him to pitch TV ideas similar to his chatty, cerebral film comedies (one, Kicking and Screaming, was about a group of guys who graduate from college but won't leave). Baumbach came...
