China as a democracy and the matter of the rule of law ....
Oh how we love to get on our pedestal and lecture  .-(
Chinese culture is millenia old - has been maltreated by the West during the colonial era ( e.g. Opium wars ), then suffered through a tragic episode of socialism ( Communism ) where millions starved and/or lived below subsistence until not so long ago. It is a huge and diverse country and population. More of its citizens have been raised out of abject poverty than anytime in recorded history. This transition took place without civil wars or terrorism, always a risk, and we should give their leadership credit. It will take generations to achieve a democracy per western criteria. Please consider our vain efforts in the ME, or closer to home the FN isolation - all failed to accomplish well intentioned goals. 

The Chinese will make excellent business partners - but let us not just sell the place.
