OT if the mainland Chinese think Clinton is a softy, they underestimate him. He has never let matters of policy interfere where military intervention would yield good photo ops. As a result, he has committed American military forces to more missions in more places than we have seen in a long time. This includes the far east where he dispatches crown jewels of the US navy, carrier task forces, to the Taiwan Straits as a show of resolve for Taiwan. He also has nerves of steel (whatever his moral fibre is made of) as shown by his shameless performance throughout the Monica Lewinski thing. Remember how composed his state of the union message was when the Lewinski thing was breaking? There is a sordid link between domestic Chinese politics and domestic US politics going back to the influence of the Soong family on the GOP as well as ties to the foreign policy and intelligence establishments, etc, etc. and the tension between Chiang Kai Shek and Gen. Stilwell and probably before that. None of which is to say Clinton is more estimable than George W., but I just don't see him as any different in his China policy than his predecessors or his likely successor (George W.). As an aside, I think the wrong Bush is running for President-- GW's kid brother is doing a heck of a job in Florida and is, imho, more presidential.
