China: East Meets Reagan
(3 of 3)
Between the toasts, talks and sightseeing tours, Reagan and the Chinese will be able to size each other up. If relations between the two countries have not always gone smoothly since Nixon's great leap twelve years ago, it is partly because both countries fostered unrealistically high hopes of what could be achieved. Barring some impolitic comment by either side about Taiwan, the Reagan road show through China cannot help raising the temperature of the friendship another few degrees.
—By James Kelly.
