So you are a studen of the "constructive engagement" school, eh?
'tis nothing but a revamped, renamed policy of "appeasement", and we all know where that got us fifty years ago.
But seriously... I'm not sure if "rewarding" China is the best way to go. On the other hand, I'm no fan of the 'chicken-hawk' wing in the current Administration, who seem to prefer provocation and conflict over negotiation and diplomacy. China is a difficult nut to crack...
