...offensive that is likely to be successful in India. But these little shuffles need to be balanced by a deeper understanding of Asia's long history. Just as encouraging regime change in the Middle East may not have happy outcomes, so a lack of understanding for Chinese history could prove tragic. From the viewpoint of the Chinese people, the story of Taiwan and China is not about democracy vs. nondemocracy, as it is in the stereotypical U.S. world view.
