attention to China

Recently I noticed some mention of China. First I saw a book titled China: The Gathering Threat, then the latest issue of Foreign Affairs has a special section featuring several articles on China by (in-China) Chinese scholars, including Wang Jisi, and an author from Singapore. The 1st column on Thursday's Wall Street Journal (this column must have a convenient name that I don't know) is about a China-related Pentagon official who have undergone some sort of shift of stance. The online BBC News had a report before Presedent Hu's US visit that claims the China-US relationship is the most important bilateral relationship.

By the way, Friday's Wall Street Journal had an article on the winery tasting choices in the Wine Country of Napa Valley and arround. I didn't read it through, but it should be helpful for anyone who's visiting north of San Francisco. I was there only once, with several friends from the college years, but didn't taste wine because it was closed for the day.
