And if he doesn't, the U.S. Congress, already threatening new tariffs against Chinese imports, will be furious. One hopeful sign: a U.S. Treasury team was recently in Beijing, no doubt talking about exactly this subject. Politics is rearing its head on both sides of the Pacific these days. And it may take an optimist on the scale...
