China enters US presidential campaign thru Clinton's backdoor

A Hillary mask
by talkradionews via FlickrIn what seems a last-ditch effort by Senator Hillary Clinton to save her nomination as the Democratic candidate for the US presidential elections, she has introduced fierce anti-China rethoric in her campaign, writes Politico. The change in China-policies by Clinton has triggered off the condemnation of major China-experts, including Richard Baum, a political science professor at the Center for Chinese Studies at UCLA. Baum was also an informal advisor of the Clinton campaign and he resigned from that position, after Clinton started to urge current US president George W. Bush not to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing. Bush has already rejected that call. Baum:

“As a lifelong Democrat, it saddens me that Sen. Clinton has chosen to take the low road in her effort to gain our party’s presidential nomination,” Baum said in an e-mail to Politico.
