At heart, this “progressive” perspective is paternalistic and racist. It assumes that China will only act on climate change if taught to do so by enlightened, civilized Americans. Reminiscent of well meaning but ignorant and inherently racist missionary zeal of another era.

This is just bat... crazy. China will cooperate on environmental issues because it's in China's interests to do so. Not because the US has soft-pedaled criticism of the PRC's human rights record. Most of us can walk and chew gum at same time.
