Hillary Clinton In Asia


Chinese online portal Sina has a piece highlighting that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton schedule on three-nation Asian trip. The story, titled Clinton's Asian Trip is Trip To China, emphasized complaints from Japanese saying Clinton only spent 3 hours in Tokyo, while spending 5 days in China and 1 day in Korea.

Another piece on Sina highlighted the size of 200 delegates in the Clinton entourage, including 15-18 cabinet level officials. In one word, Beijing feels Clinton has given good face to China.

As the second round US-China Strategy session opens tomorrow, more eyes will be on how much of the good will transferred to concessions from Beijing on North Korea, Iran sanctions, RMB revaluation and trade barrier issues.
