The Chinese leaders are a bunch of old selfish cronies who are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They want to unleash the power of a market economy without giving the freedom that goes with it for fear of being overthrown. They want respectability in the international area but act like thugs with their own people and other countries whenever they can. What I feel China needs is a transition towards what I would call an "iron fist democracy", led by a younger elite who would have the common sense to realize that respect for the rule of law and eradication of corruption is paramount to the success of a nation. Coming back to Kosovo, it is indeed remarkable, and admirable, that Taiwan gave so much to help.
