New diplomacy Leaders of less developed countries such as Brazil can no longer be ignored Then there was China. Chinese President Hu Jintao did not make much of a public impact, beyond that in his own media, but China's influence was felt everywhere. They and the Americans agreed on a "strategic and economic dialogue" to start in Washington this summer. The workshop of the modern world cannot be ignored. One sign is that China is likely to get much larger voting rights in the IMF to match its much larger contributions. Can the day be long delayed when China enters the trading world fully, with a convertible currency? This is the new super power diplomacy - not East versus West, nor a return to the disastrous manoeuvring of the late 19th Century or the 1930s, but the management of relationships within better agreed rules. And do not forget the presence of leaders from places like India and Brazil. They cannot be ignored either. It makes one wonder how much longer the old G8 style of meeting, another of which is planned in Italy this summer, can stagger on. There can be no rich man's club if the members are no longer so rich and have caused so much disaster. Paul.Reynolds-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk
