Parts of the Tom Plate article seems to be translated, possibly from Mandarin ? This phrase, "hard heart and tough mind" is very odd in English -

>>>will someday show that her hard heart and tough mind on the matter of China<<<<

This is odd too "higher platform" -

>>>>Pelosi's rise to power might also provide a higher platform in the nation's capital for others who harbor doubts...<<<

The Democratic party doesn't have much of a "human rights wing" .... mostly some Hollywood types who find Tibet to be trendy. Watch them suck up to Castro, Chavez and other dictators.

Much of San Francisco politics influenced by Senator Diane Finestein and friends, who are pretty far on along the pro-China spectrum. I expect some of what we are seeing is postturing for trade unions.

Now foreign policy iniatives and treaties need to be approved by the Senate, the upper house. Nancy Pelosi will be in the lower house, with considerably less influence on foreign policy.

"no knee jerk leftist ?" She is often described as "rabid" by right wing talk radio hosts.
