If there's a hint of abuse, a call goes out to the county child-welfare authorities...
...perfect as the moment seemed, it wasn't quite at the imperial level that Jiang aspires to. Even in Beijing, where the WTO celebration was as choreographed as the first act of Cats, the zip and pop of a truly great moment was missing.
