What alarms me slightly about the new team is that its China experience is so thin. From Jones to Susan Rice to Clinton to Steinberg and Gates, there are glimmers of China experience, but not much.
All the Shock Doctrine fanatics cheering to drive the the Big 3 into bankruptcy "restructuring," like Mitt Romney, might want to think about the implications of this.
Like Tom Joad returning to his home only to find his family gone and the house half covered by the encroaching rows of cotton, each of us this Thanksgiving will find something at home that we did not expect.

This Country is polluting us with tainted milk, candy, vitamins,pharmacueticals,lead toys etec, etc.... Now its green country :)
I haven't heard the Chinese call themselves a green country. The problem has been acknowledged and is being worked on. And if you happen to remember the 1960s and 1970s, pollution was a huge problem in Europe and the US, too. We recognized the problem and began cleaning up our act. We are still not finished as regular smog alerts in many cities can tell. Same for the Chinese. They admit that they have an environmental problem. They are working on it. And it will still take them trillions of dollars and many decades to clean up. That's no different from us.
