The U.S. decision to postpone the meeting appears to be part of a strategy to improve ties with China that also includes soft-pedaling criticism of China's human rights and financial policies as well as backing efforts to elevate China's position in international institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund. Obama administration officials have termed the new policy "strategic reassurance," which entails the U.S. government taking steps to convince China that it is not out to contain the emerging Asian power.
Previous administrations' appeasements of China were bad enough. I referred to it before as "never miss a chance to kiss China's butt." Is this administration out to set a whole new standard? It's disturbing.
