POST: President Hu Jintao Honors PLA Helicopter Regiment's Relief Work, by David Hughes, Ares, 6/17/2008

China lets in foreign military, works its own to new level of confidence and competence, and then wonders, Why couldn't we return the favor somewhere else?

PLA peacekeepers have been around. I've met several who've worked Africa, for example. But the PLA always blends in instead of standing out.

This will end soon enough.

With great power comes great responsibility.
