The New Yorker’s China writer, Evan Osnos, wrote this commentary regarding the US November midterm elections and their unlikely tie to China — insightful and concise, he addresses the absurdity of pointing fingers across the Pacific in order to distract from the election candidates’ faulty résumés and lack of political facility. As Osnos points out, China is an “enemy of convenience.” It really is people like Christine O’Donnell who I fear will spark another Chinese Exclusion Act or something of this ilk.

Oh no, she’s wearing Communist Red! Maybe it’s actually O’Donnell who’s conspiring against the United States! (or something equally ridiculous…)
