On China: Kausikan's candor

I didn't like him at first but now I am getting to appreciate him: Bilahari Kausikan. He says it as he sees it. Quite undiplomatic for a diplomat but is also reminded me of S Rajaratnam's forthrightness.

Even the NYT has taken to quoting from his sharing at the IPS.

Like Goujian which I used to blog about probably years back about the Chinese, the weak and strong Goujan are quite different characters.
