Americans still don't quite get it. China represents the first time in any American's lifetime that the United States is faced with a country that it cannot coerce. The problem of China for America is that it is a large but amorphous issue, unlike Afghanistan or health care, with its endless and acrimonious battles in the beltway. There is no vote, or quick resolution or unitary policy that will "solve" China. That allows it to linger as a concern, but not to shape action.

Our country's decision-making processes appear to be under the control of a wealthy Wall Street few. And they are selling China the rope with which it is hanging us.

For a 21st century relationship, this looks increasingly like a 19th century marriage, one of convenience and necessity rather than love and affection.
