What the Chinese need and want: they know, we don't
The resounding lesson from my travels in China and experiences with Chinese people outside of China are that Chinese people want to determine the future of China.
Whether they support or object to the Chinese government, whether they long for democracy or distrust it, they resent Americans telling them things are wrong in China and China needs democracy and needs it now.
Our road is democracy, the Chinese are on their own road.

It's a good reminder. Americans too often think that everyone wants what we have and what we want.
