Anyway, his recent meeting with President Obama did not necessarily constitute a violation of the USA’s pledge to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of China.

They are behaving like badly run companies, where individual managers look after themselves while building their own little empires rather than looking at the long-term bigger picture and working as a team.
