America still has much to decide. Among several major issues, the US presidential campaign did not — and without comprehensive national review could not — clear up the daunting question of China.
The policy differences between the two parties and their candidates, exaggerated for effect, were miniscule in comparison to the questions China raises. The ultimate stakes for America are huge. (By Tom Plate, Los Angeles).
Your comments:
The writer doesn’t compare Japanese 1930s-1940s atrocities (not only in China) with the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 1989, (which was not limited to Beijing).
He writes that if China puts itself on the high moral ground by demonizing Japan (and that’s getting old), then it also has to face its own history of the horrors of the Cultural Revolution and the reaction against the 1989 democracy movement, among others.
