China in U.S. Campaign Politics: Part 6 of Election '08 and the Challenge of China

The opening segment documents the importance of the U.S.-China relationship and its complexity. China has the fastest growing large economy, has become the top producer of greenhouse gases, and is increasingly prominent in negotiations to limit the spread of nuclear weapons.

Its a well-established tradition for candidates to criticize how the current president has dealt with China. These candidates complain that the president has been too easy on or to close to China.

This segment reviews nearly thirty years of candidate statements and presidential policies.
