The treatment in the American press of President Obama’s trip was overly negative in its emphasis on how the Chinese leadership kept the President at too great a distance from the Chinese people. The coverage overlooked some of the promise embedded in his discussions, particularly on legal cooperation, which the U.S. can use to help expand citizens’ rights without publicly banging the drum of human rights.
