Those who fear indentured servitude to their American cousins are searching for solutions. One frequently discussed option is contraction: a scenario in which Japan's 12 teams are reduced in number to tighten up competition and increase overall per-game attendance. Another idea is expansion, as in a plan proposed by baseball columnist Jim Allen, which would take advantage of a number of new ballparks built around the country, courtesy of Liberal Democratic Party pork, to set up a broad system of professional minor league teams in small markets.

...Jaime Florcruz: The most optimistic scenario is that the Chinese will simply understand these pronouncements as similar to campaign rhetoric rather than a policy shift. I've already heard one Chinese think-tank representative offer that explanation. The flip side of that, though, is to embrace the idea that you can?t take seriously the pronouncements of the U.S. president. And that's a very serious situation. When you have policy makers in Beijing trying to decipher the new Bush administration's China policy, you can't afford to be seen to flip-flop - President Bush says something...
