The recent visit of NASA Administrator Charles Bolden to China has generated a high level of attention and controversy. Relations between the USA and China are not exactly cordial at the moment, for a variety of reasons. The problems are so acute that high-placed voices in the USA have questioned if Bolden should even visit China at all, let alone try to forge any links.

China carmakers' plans raise overcapacity concerns
Beijing (AFP) Oct 17, 2010

China hits back over US green energy probe
Beijing (AFP) Oct 18, 2010
A US probe into claims China illegally subsidises its green-energy sector will backfire as Washington will be forced to reveal its own support for American firms, a senior Chinese official warned. The US alleges that China funnels huge subsidies to its green technology sector in a bid to dominate the fast-growing market, opening a new front in a wide-ranging tussle over trade between the two giant economies.
