It&#8217;s been fascinating. Vinegar Joe Stilwell just made General a year shy of Pearl Harbor (I am 32% done with Tuchman&#8217;s bio of him) and I found this Newsweek story from 20 years ago about Bill Clinton&#8217;s opening American tech to the People&#8217;s Liberation Army.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/chinese-military-power-us-might-643022\">http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/chinese-military-power-us-might-643022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chiang Kai-Shek would have killed for US war materiel like Clinton passed out. <\/p>\n<p>I am still inclined towards the promiscuous spreading of information rather than to it&#8217;s stingy hoarding. I am a liberal arts kind of guy. <\/p>\n<p>I will get to check out a Chinese school today on this sleepy stretch of our river cruise. Maybe it will give me some useful insights to bring back to the Duluth Schools. I just hope it&#8217;s air conditioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling down the mid stretch of the Yangtze River has been quiet enough to let my brain fret over China&#8217;s middling and meddlesome censorship&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128,25],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22448"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22452,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22448\/revisions\/22452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
