Economics is only part of the problem. Many Chinese, from leaders
to ordinary citizens, are fundamentally nationalistic. They see China's
ancient destiny as the complete domination of Asia. In this context,
America is increasingly identified as the "global hegemonist" that stands
in their way. As the U.S. tries to tie trade relations to the human rights
issue, we are out-maneuvered every time. China knows that in the end, rich
U.S. corporations want to get richer, and that's what really counts in the
negotiations. Meanwhile, China's growing military -- already the largest
in Asia -- continues to tweak Taiwan's nose now and then, in order to
gauge the extent to which the U.S. may be prepared to intervene.
