The problem with Mr Chen

By way of a friend from down under: The problem with Mr Chen is that he is going to test Australia's and any other democracy's mettle for that matter. Who can resist the giant RENMINBI and those cuddly pandas??? Maybe Australia and the US should just give up on their commitment to democracy and just support neoliberalism and free trade. But since they haven't quite yet, situations like this are going to put our commitment to protecting "enduring" freedom to the test.
