...These days, U.S. officials routinely acknowledge that the Washington-Beijing relationship is the world's most important. Combined, the U.S. and Chinese economies accounted for more than half of global growth over the past four years, and how these nations interact over everything from Iran to North Korea will do much to determine whether peace and prosperity prevail in Asia and beyond. But high-level U.S. talks with China in recent years have been sporadic, at best. The heaviest hitters in President Bush's Administration have been preoccupied with the war on terror and the deepening fiasco in Iraq. Aside...
...year run as the Administration's top economic policymaker. The December meeting in Beijing was the first of a series of biannual economic summits that are supposed to increase communication, with a specific focus on intermediate and longer-range economic issues.

For most of the film, Gurukant's and Sujatha's marriage is a montage of goodbyes (as he dashes off to cinch another deal) and hellos (as he returns in triumph or in peril).

Curiously, the movie's most intense, honest physical emotion is between Madhavan and Balan. Their kiss when he proposes to her carries a sock that's missing in the Ash-Abhishek scenes...
...Hollande appears outmaneuvered, exposed - some say - as a capable yet cornered party leader struggling to remain relevant. And who knows how the fallout from the kafuffle affected the domestic bliss of the Hollande-Royal household. To protect their relationship, the couple could learn from American political pugilists James Carville and Mary Matalin, who keep things interesting at home by earning their keep doing battle for opposite sides. Perhaps Hollande ought to be advising Royal's probable conservative foe, Nicolas Sarkozy? And there's got to be a lesson somewhere in all of this for Hillary Clinton...
