I heard Bush's China speech. It was a masterpiece, and I think one of the best speeches I ever heard.
Basically, he lectured freedom and democracy in China, especially religious freedom. He spoke about how freedom of speech actually makes a nation stronger, not weaker.
I think Bush spoke for China as part of a deal as far as China interfering with N Korea and the nuclear problem, which is a priority. But I don't think they can take it to the bank.

"I think Bush spoke for China as part of a deal as far as China interfering with N Korea and the nuclear problem, which is a priority. But I don't think they can take it to the bank. "
100% agreement. Hopefully, the Pentagon learned in Korea War I that the last thing the invading American troops need to see are Chinese troops crossing the Korean border. By selling out Taiwan, I think he's making an under-the-table deal with the Chinese so that they won't interfere -- and may even support -- an invasion of North Korea.
I'd hate to be a Taiwanese citizen about now...
