I've Been Thinking:

This weekend US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates leaves for a 5 day trip to China. Gates will be the first Secretary of Defense to visit China since 2000.

The purpose of the trip is to re-establish military relations with China which cut off all military interaction and communications because the United States has continued its relationship with Taiwan.

China is by far the largest army in the world... but it is an army in need of modernization.

The US can help China. And China can help the US

The Chinese army is a huge market for the US - and China has a lot to offer the United States. China has access to a tremendous amount of military intel and info about what is happening in the world that could be enormously beneficial for the US.

Best of luck, Secretary Gates.
