Jiang in Washington

Jiang and Clinton, after a 90-minute getting-to-know-each-other chat Tuesday night at the White House, officially opened their summit this morning with much pomp and circumstance: 21-gun salute, color guard, anthems, and words of optimism and praise. Across the street at Lafayette Park, a large protest of China's human rights record was unfolding.
