	ISN Security Watch - The Qian Qichen op-ed
		It has been suggested that Qian originally made the remarks in a lecture at the CCP Central Party School, and that the lecture was then reported in the party school's newspaper, the Study Times.
		Since much of what Qian had to say was related to the criticisms Senator Kerry had been making on the campaign trail, it could have been a crude attempt to curry favor with the next US administration - in which case it has backfired.
		But unquestionably Qian was either expressing a CCP majority view that he himself nurtures, or at least the opinions of an influential minority.
