>"Holy shit, Angus, it's as big as my arm!"
>Gregg just laughed behind her, "Told you! So are you gonna chicken out now? I bet you are."
>Mae shot him a glare, before resetting her gaze on the tree sized chunk of flesh before her. How did she end up here? She thought back over the last half hour.
>Gregg was lazily resting at his station behind the Snack Falcon counter as she walked in, obviously somewhat uncomfortable.
>"Hey dude, what's up?"
>Gregg spoke back in a weak voice before clearing his throat and trying again, "Not much dude, just finishing my shift. *cough*"
>"Whoah are you alright?"
>Gregg grinned. Oh yeah, just a bit of a sore throat."
>Sarcastically Mae fired a quip, "Maybe you should stop sucking so much dick."
>Genuinely, Gregg responded, "What, no way, it's worth a sore throat."
>"Wait, what's worth a sore throat?"
>A semi awkward conversation and one disbelieving boast later, and here she was. If anything, Gregg had undersold just how loaded Angus was. Sore throat? It was a small miracle Gregg could even speak.
>She muttered to herself, "And you made a bet you could blow him no problem."
>"What was that?" Gregg bunched up behind her, "Do I detect fear in your voice?"
>"No!"
>Angus spoke now, "Mae it's okay, it's just a bet right?"
>"Yeah, it is a bet! And I don't lose bets!"
>Mae lost her bet.

What would you want from a sequel/DLC/patch/any expansion of content?
Hard mode: no shipping

>>9051321
Better writing. Tying all the loose ends. More gameplay.

>>9051321
Selma hangouts
The cut Germ hangout
Mr. Penderson hangout

>>9051321
First and foremost, i would like the final part of the story to be better made. It was really different from the rest of the story, which was fine up untill then.
A run button would probably be nice. Maybe a way to practise on bass, i was terrible at those parts.
And obviously, more places to hang out and more ways to. Especially with the gang, not just with either bea or Gregg, but them as a group.

>>9051321
Do you guys think there will be any,by the devs? Even just a patch, anything.

>>9051475
someone said they might patch the Germ hangout back in, but assuming the kind of work ethic the devs seem to have it won't be coming any time soon if ever.

>>9051583
I have no idea about their work ethic, did not even know the game is a thing untill a week or so. What was the problem with it?

>>9051648
The game had a kickstarter and was supposed to come out two years ago but they delayed the fuck out of it. They don't even have all the kickstarter backer rewards made yet and they're working on a new game instead of finishing shit that was promised.

>>9051670
A new game? Been on their side, have not seen it. Maybe it has some ties with this one? Would be pretty awesome~

>>9051795
Nope. It's an Oregon Trail clone.

>>9051809
Are you fucking kidding me, that sounds terrible. Do you have a link to it or something? Id like to check out that trainwreck.

>>9051874
Don't even remember what it's called. An anon here went to an event where the devs were and that's what he reported back.

>>9051890
Yeah, thats pretty sad. I mean it may come out nice, but its a long call from this. And the game is not really te kind you make a sequel of, so i can only think of expansions; re-release of it. This will be dissapointing.

Yeah, I don't think that new game will be a great success. These devs did not impress me with the writing or gameplay in NITW, and most of the love I have for the characters has branched from headcanon and the things we talk about here on this general. Their character development only did so much. In terms of gameplay, I really doubt they're clever enough to make a unique and fun Oregon Trail-like game when there's already games like that out there that people enjoy.

>>9052000
Yeah, they have money now, they dont even have to rush it all that much. The best they should do is sit, actually dig into the criticism, what the fans want, and learn and evolve from it. I take its their first game, it would do great for them to just do that, and fine tune/add stuff into the game untill its much better.

Reddit watched a stream Alec did. They posted a recap, and this was in it.

>-Scott has told Alec what a NITW sequel would be about and what it would be like and Alec said it is very cool but stressed that they currently have no actual plans for a sequel and nothing is underway for one. He says that they both kind of want to explore other projects for a while before really working on something like that again together, since it took up so much of their life.

>>9052033
I also doubt they would listen to the fans or take in some solid and honest criticism. From the way these people respond to questions, it seems like they won't listen to any outside voice and insist that this is the story they wanted to tell, which is perfectly fine to think like that for your work, but getting feedback from people other than your own is a great way to improve. Also, if this anon >>9051670 is correct, then it's clear that these devs are not looking to improve themselves, and all they want to do is make games. Again, that's fine, but they're not gonna make their brand perception look better to consumers, both old and new.

>>9051321
Weren't the devs gonna do something where Mae gets supernatural powers and shit?
Do something like that where she gets like cthulhu'd and shit and loses her fucking mind and the game just turns into dream sequences entirely
Just yume nikki my game up senpai

>>9052224
God, hope not. Hated the dream sequences. Exceot the one where you get to bash things with the bat,that was fun! But if its more plstforming,they shouldnt bother. Thise parts felt the weakest in my opinion.

>>9052252
Are you experiencing a seizure?

>>9052252
There original intent according to the kickstarter was for Mae to have supernatural powers to solve puzzles and unlock more places to explore, which sounds way better than what we got.

Honestly if I backed the kickstarter I would have been so pissed. I think I might have actually sued the devs too. They got more than enough money to make the game plus what they made selling the game itself and they didn't even do half the shit that was promised yet.

>>9052337
Yeah, i read that, and was actually expecting that in the game, but found nothing. It was pretty dissapointing, have no idea what the backers may have felt. But again, Kickstarter games almost never work out.
>>9052335
My phone does,if that helps.

Boy I'm phoneposting right now
What are you doing

>>9052337
As someone who hadn't even heard of the NITW Kickstarter, I think the grounded elements of the game are executed a lot better than the supernatural/ethereal bits, and that if they'd gone full Indigo Prophecy it would have become even more of a laughing stock than the Cthulhu Mythos goat stuff most people seem to dislike. The game's enough of a writing mishmash as it is, and giving a piece of shit special powers would make her even less likeable than the small-town head case shtick we got.

Not gonna lie, though, I'd still totally play Psychic Asshole Cat Simulator.

>>9052637
>psychic asshole cat simulator
Dont forget the severe mental ilnesses too.
Also, you may be right. But surely, it needs a lot more in the characters department! More hangouts and just more things to explore. The scenery was great and all, but slowly pacing trough the same exact 4 screens to talk to the people who can be found the exact same place was pretty frustatingly boring.

>>9052763
No doubt there. If finding characters for chats was more of a scavenger hunt instead of a daily grind, I'd be into that, especially with a bigger map. The "daily grind" feel of finding locals at the same place every day was a little poetic, but I don't think gameplay should have been sacrificed for it.

Woah,thats obnoxious. Why wouldnt it be good enough to have it in the corner? Who would go trough the steps to cover it up? Thats dumb.

>>9053664
I did and now I'm disappointed in myself

>>9053497
>>9053655
Yeah, I think somebody who puts a watermark that obtrusive shows that they will get butthurt if people are editing and not crediting their work.

>>9053473
it's generally one of three reasons:

1) they don't want people to post their art unsourced (which would be funny because I still don't know who this guy is)
2) they don't want some chinese bootlegger in a dark corner of the internet making t-shirts and mousepads with their art on it for profit (but let's be honest, there are better targets out there than this) or
3) they're afraid someone will claim it as their own (which in my opinion is a very real fear, but there are better ways to go about it)

and once they're convinced those things might happen, they're not gonna budge

Open a biology book anon. The part of your brain that controls your genitals and the part that controls your feet are right next to each other. They're just squeezed tight together and those firing neurons constantly cross beams, meaning sometimes impulses meant for feet communicate with your dick and impulses meant for you dick communicate with your feet and it causes a whole thing with feet and your dick and what you want feet to do to your dick and all that wacky shit.

You're the weird one if you don't want to stroke yourself while playing with some cute toes. Someone's probably wrong with your brain.

You can google it and get pages of research proving this.

It's the most common fetish for a reason, but not everyone has crossfiring neurons.

>>9054952
No, you'll find one paper about a neuroscientist discovering people with missing limbs started finding their missing limbs sexy.

The rest about crossfiring neurons in normal people is all theoretical and ignorantly spouted.

>>9054982
>Only about 40% of people have a foot fetish.
Wrong. Only about 40% admit it because society wants you to hate feet. Unshackle your mind and let your toes breathe anon.

If they were going to go down that route I think it would have been best for abilities to be more on the perceptive, investigative and reality shifting side than your usual floating shit around. A little sinister too. Like I dunno, being able to transition between the normal and astral aspects of PS to solve puzzles and surmount obstacles, ESP revealing hidden aspects of things and people like a blacklight, remote viewing and shit.

Even better, design it cleverly enough to keep open the possibility that Mae is just becoming increasingly disconnected with reality.

>>9055138
Did they drop the supernatural powers mechanic because they realized they couldn't figure out a way to integrate it well with their story? I'll be cynical when I say that I think they weren't competent enough to do something like that.

Yeah I know about the parts of story that were cut. It's all a big disappointment and the ending barely did any justice for the overall story. Honestly, I think these devs just liked Life is Strange and wanted to do the same thing and they knew people who can create some characters and write a story, but they had no idea how to produce a video game and how to manage it all so it got mangled up during development, and since they were pressured to deliver to their backers, the game seems like it was also rushed at the end.

>>9054952
>mfv still best picture

>>9055527
Exactly,i agree with you. Some argue this game is better than Life is Strange,although for whatever reason that touches me more. Its probably not because it has better writing or something,but rather how much you can relate to stuff,and personally i didnt find it that relatable. Otherwise im still glad i played it, and since i had absolute zero expectation,it was fun~

A girl that can work it wit some razzmatazz
A girl that really knows how to move those cheeks
A bitch that gets it popin' when we're down in the sheets

I wanna bareback that bear and get my cum in her hair
With her fur so thick she don't know the nut's there
Want her to catch me by surprise with my face in her thighs
Pussy squirtin' so hard it even blinds my mind's eye

A bitch that's catchin' eyes from every nigga in town

we discussed the
extraordinary challenges the
leaders and people of
Indonesia had taken on:
blending democracy, Islam,
modernity, and women’s
rights in a country with the
largest Muslim population in
the world. In the previous
half-century Indonesia had
been a relatively minor
player
in the region’s political
affairs. When I visited as
First Lady fifteen years
earlier, it was still a poor and
undemocratic country. By
2009 it was being
transformed under the
forward-looking leadership of
President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono. Economic
growth
had lifted many
people out of poverty, and
Indonesia was working to
share lessons from its own
transition away from
dictatorship with other
countries across Asia.
I was impressed by
Yudhoyono, who had a deep
grasp of regional diplomatic
dynamics and a vision for his
country’s continued
development. In our first
conversation he encouraged
me to
pursue a new approach
toward Burma, which had
been ruled by a repressive
military junta for years.
Yudhoyono had met twice
with Burma’s top general, the
reclusive Than Shwe, and he
told me
that the junta might
be willing to inch toward

that could threaten South
Korea and the region.
In my public remarks in
Seoul I extended an invitation
to the North Koreans. If they
would completely and
verifiably eliminate their
nuclear weapons program, the
Obama Administration would
be
willing to normalize
relations, replace the
peninsula’s long-standing
armistice agreement with a
permanent peace treaty, and
assist in meeting the energy
and other economic and
humanitarian
needs of the
North Korean people. If
not,
the regime’s isolation would
continue. It was an opening
gambit in a drama I was sure
would continue for our entire
term, as it
had for decades
before, and not one I thought
likely to succeed. But, as with
Iran, another regime with
nuclear ambitions, we started
off with the offer of
engagement hoping it would
succeed and
knowing it
would be easier to get other
nations to pressure North
Korea if and when the offer
was rejected. It was
particularly important for
China, a longtime patron and
protector of the regime in
Pyongyang, to be part of a
united international front.
It didn’t take long to get an
answer.
The next month, March
2009, a crew of American
television journalists were
reporting from the border
between China and North
Korea for Current TV, the
network cofounded by former
Vice President
Al Gore and
later sold to Al Jazeera. The
journalists were there to
document the stories of North
Korean women who were
trafficked across the border
and forced into the sex trade
and other forms of
modern
slavery. At dawn on March
17, a local guide led the
Americans along the Tumen
River that separates the two
countries, still frozen in the
early spring. They followed

mileage they could from the
incident, but they needed
some reason to justify letting
the women go
home. Also, if
we didn’t do something to try
to resolve the matter, our
efforts on everything else
with North Korea would be
suspended because of their
imprisonment. When I raised
the idea
directly with
President Obama over lunch
in late July, he agreed with
me that it was the best chance
we had.
Although it was considered
a “private mission,” Bill and
the small team he would take
along were well briefed
before departing. A humorous
but important part of the
preparation
involved
coaching them not to be
smiling (or frowning) when
the inevitable official photos
with Kim were taken.
In early August, Bill set
out on his mission. After
twenty hours on the ground in
North Korea and a face-to-
face meeting with Kim, he
succeeded in winning the
journalists’ immediate
release. They flew home with
Bill to a dramatic arrival in
California, greeted by family,
friends, and loads of
television cameras. The
official images released by
the regime were appropriately
stilted; no smiling by any of
the Americans. Afterward
Bill joked that he felt like he
was auditioning for a James
Bond movie. But he believed
that his success was proof
that the insular regime
would
respond positively, at least on
certain points, if we could
find the right mix of
incentives.
Unfortunately there was
more trouble ahead. Late one
evening in March 2010, a

visit had prompted the local

considered a minor miracle.
When Mother Teresa died in
1997, I led an
American
delegation to her funeral in
Kolkata to pay our respects to
her remarkable humanitarian
legacy. Her open casket was
carried through the crowded
streets, and Presidents, Prime
Ministers,
and religious
leaders from many faiths
placed wreaths of white
flowers on the funeral bier.
Later her successor invited
me to a private meeting at the
headquarters of their order,
Missionaries of
Charity. In a
simple whitewashed room, lit
only by tiers of flickering
devotional candles, the nuns
stood in a circle of quiet
prayer surrounding the closed
casket, which had been
brought back
there as its final
resting place. To my surprise,
they asked me to offer a
prayer of my own. I hesitated,
then bowed my head

thanked God for the privilege
of having known

was unsuited to the region’s
history, maybe even
antithetical to Asian values.
There were plenty of
counterexamples to disprove
these theories. Japan,
Malaysia, South Korea,
Indonesia, and Taiwan were
all democratic societies that
had delivered tremendous
economic benefits
to their
people. From 2008 to 2012,
Asia was the only region in
the world to achieve steady
gains in political rights and
civil liberties, according to
the nongovernmental
organization Freedom
House.
For example, the Philippines
held elections in 2010 that
were widely praised as a
significant improvement over
previous ones, and the new
President, Benigno Aquino
III, launched a concerted
effort to fight corruption and
increase transparency. The
Philippines were a valued ally
for the United States, and
when a terrible typhoon hit
the country in late 2013, our
partnership would
ensure that
joint relief efforts led by the
U.S. Navy swung quickly
into action. And, of course,
there was Burma. By mid-
2012 the democratic opening
predicted by Indonesia’s
President
Yudhoyono was in
full swing,
and Aung San Suu
Kyi, who for decades had
been the imprisoned
conscience of her nation, was
serving in Parliament.
There were other examples
that were less encouraging.
Too many Asian governments
continued to resist reforms,
restrict their people’s access
to ideas and information, and
imprison them for
expressing
dissenting views. Under Kim
Jong Un, North Korea
remained the most closed and
repressive country in the
world. As hard as it is to

government
officials I met in
the capital and their
commitment to transforming
a one-party Communist
dictatorship into a pluralistic,
democratic political system.
It was not going to be an easy
journey, but
they were
determined to try. I told them
that, from then on, anytime
someone expressed doubts
that democracy could take
root in unlikely places, I
would tell them, “Let them
come to Mongolia!
Let them
see people willing to hold
demonstrations in subzero
temperatures and travel long
distances to cast their ballots
in elections.”
When I returned seventeen
years later, a lot had changed
in Mongolia and its
neighborhood. China’s rapid
development and its
insatiable demand for natural
resources had created a
mining
boom in Mongolia,
which was blessed with
enormous reserves of copper
and other minerals. The
economy was expanding at
the blistering pace of more
than 17 percent in 2011, and
some experts predicted
faster
growth in Mongolia over the
next decade than in any other
country on earth. Most people
were still poor, and many
retained their nomadic
lifestyle, but the global
economy that had once felt
so
far away had arrived in full
force.
As I drove into the once
sleepy capital, Ulaanbaatar, I
was amazed at the
transformation. Glass
skyscrapers soared up from
amid a jumble of traditional
gers
and old Soviet housing
projects. In Sukhbaatar
Square, soldiers in traditional
Mongolian garb stood guard
in the shadow of a new Louis
Vuitton store. I walked into
Government House, a large
holdover from the Stalinist
era, past an enormous statue
of Genghis Khan, the 13th-
century Mongolian warrior
whose empire spanned a

what America accomplished
during what President Nixon
called “the week that changed
the world.”
Looking back, it’s clear
that both sides had taken
enormous risks. They were
venturing into the unknown,
during the height of the Cold
War no less. There could be
serious political
consequences at home for
leaders on both sides for
appearing weak or, in our
case, “soft on Communism.”
But the men who negotiated
the trip, Henry Kissinger for
the United States and
Zhou
Enlai for China, and the
leaders they represented,
calculated that the potential
benefits outweighed the risks.
(I have joked with Henry that
he was lucky there were no
smartphones or social
media
when he made his first secret
trip to Beijing. Imagine if a
Secretary tried to do that
today.) We do similar
calculations today when we
deal with nations whose
policies we disagree with but
whose cooperation we need,
or when we want to avoid
letting disagreements and
competition slip into conflict.
The U.S.-China
relationship is still full of
challenges. We are two large,
complex nations with
profoundly different histories,
political systems,
and
outlooks, whose
economies
and futures have become
deeply entwined. This isn’t a
relationship that fits neatly
into categories like friend or
rival, and it may never. We
are sailing in uncharted
waters.
Staying on course and
avoiding the shoals and
whirlpools requires both a
true compass and the
flexibility to make frequent
course corrections, including
sometimes painful trade-offs.
If we push too
hard on one
front, we may jeopardize
another. By the same token, if
we are too quick to
compromise or accommodate,
we may invite aggression.
With all these elements to
consider, it can be easy

women from Tibet and
Taiwan from attending at all.
“Freedom means the
right of
people to assemble, organize,
and debate openly,” I
declared from the podium. “It
means respecting the views of
those who may disagree with
the views of their
governments. It
means not
taking citizens away from
their loved ones and jailing
them, mistreating them or
denying them their freedom
or dignity because of the
peaceful expression of their
ideas and
opinions.” Those
were more pointed words
than American diplomats
usually used, especially on
Chinese soil, and some in the
U.S. government had urged
me to give a different speech
or not speak
at all. But I
thought it was important to
stand up for democratic
values and human rights in a
place where they were
seriously threatened.
In June 1998, I returned to
China for a longer stay.
Chelsea and my
mom
accompanied Bill and me on
an official state visit. The
Chinese requested a formal
arrival ceremony
in
Tiananmen Square, where
tanks had crushed pro-
democracy demonstrations in
June 1989. Bill thought about
refusing the request, so as not
to appear to endorse or ignore
that ugly history, but in
the
end he decided that his
human rights message might
get through more in China if
he acted like a respectful
guest. The Chinese, in turn,
surprised us by permitting the
uncensored broadcast of
Bill’s news conference with
President Jiang Zemin, during
which they had an extended
exchange about human rights,
including the taboo topic of

>>9059607

Tibetans are better off
now than they were before,”
he replied. “But what about
their traditions and the right
to practice their religion as
they
choose?” I persisted. He
forcefully insisted that Tibet
was a part of China and
demanded to know why
Americans advocated for
those “necromancers.”
Tibetans “were victims of
religion. They are now freed
from feudalism,” he declared.
So I had no illusions about
what Chinese officials would
be saying to me when I raised
these issues again. I also
made the obvious point that,
given the breadth and
complexity of our
relationship with China, our
profound differences on
human rights could not
exclude engagement on all
other issues. We had to be
able to stand up forcefully for
dissidents while also seeking
cooperation on the economy,
climate change, and nuclear
proliferation. This had been
our approach since Nixon
went to China. Nonetheless
my comments were widely
interpreted to mean that
human
rights would not be a
priority for the Obama
Administration and that the
Chinese could safely ignore
them. Nothing could have
been further from reality, as
future events showed. Still, it
was a
valuable lesson: now
that I was America’s chief
diplomat, every utterance
would be subjected to a
whole new level of scrutiny,
and even seemingly self-
evident observations could set
off a
feeding frenzy in the
media.
It had been more than a
decade since my previous
visit, and driving through
Beijing was like watching a
movie in fast-forward. Where
once only a handful of high-
rise buildings were visible,
now
the sky was dominated
by the gleaming new
Olympic complex and endless

years later,
and she was still
facing government pressure.
Nonetheless she told me she
planned to continue
advocating for transparency
and accountability. “I am
already 82. I am not going to
live that
much longer,” she
said. “This is an important
issue. I am not afraid.” Not
long after my visit, Dr. Gao
was forced to leave China.
She now lives in New York
City, where she
continues to
write and speak out about
AIDS in China.
Much of my time on this
first visit to Beijing as
Secretary was filled with get-
to-know-you sessions with
senior Chinese officials. I met
for lunch with State
Councilor Dai Bingguo at the
serene
and traditional
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse,
where President Nixon stayed
on his famous visit and where
we had stayed during our
1998 trip. Dai, along with
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi,
would become
my primary
counterparts in the Chinese
government. (In the Chinese
system, a State Councilor is
more senior than a Minister,
ranking just below a Vice
Premier in the hierarchy.)
A career diplomat, Dai was
close to President Hu and
adept at maneuvering the
internal politics of the
Chinese power structure. He
was proud of his reputation as
a man from the provinces
who had

On one of my
early visits to Beijing, Dai
presented me with thoughtful
personal gifts for Chelsea and
my mother, which was above
and beyond the normal
diplomatic protocol. The next
time he came to Washington,
I reciprocated with a gift for
his only granddaughter,
which seemed to please him
very much. In an early
meeting, he had pulled out a
small photograph of the baby
girl
and showed it to me,
saying, “This is what we’re in
it for.” That sentiment struck
a chord with me. It was
concern for the welfare of
children that got me into
public service in
the first
place. As Secretary of State I
had the chance to make the
world a little safer and life a
little better for children in
America and across the globe,
including in China. I viewed
it as
the opportunity and the
responsibility of a lifetime.
That Dai shared my passion
became the basis of an
enduring bond between us.
Foreign Minister Yang had
risen up the ranks of the
diplomatic corps, starting as
an interpreter. His superb
command of English enabled
us to have long, sometimes
spirited conversations during
our many meetings and phone
calls. He rarely dropped his
careful diplomatic persona,
but I could occasionally
glimpse the real person
behind it. Once he told me
that, as a child growing up in
Shanghai, he sat in an
unheated classroom,
shivering, his hands too cold
to hold a pen. His journey
from the freezing
schoolhouse all the way to the
Foreign Ministry was a
source of his great
personal
pride in China’s progress. He
was an unapologetic
nationalist, and we had our
share of tense exchanges,
especially about difficult
topics
like the South China
Sea, North Korea, and
territorial disputes with

basketball star Yao Ming. He
also joked that there should
be a “diplomacy Olympics”
with events like “miles
traveled”; that would net
the
United States at least one
more medal.
In my first conversation
with Yang in February 2009,
he brought up a topic I didn’t
expect that was clearly
bothering him. The Chinese
were preparing to host a
major international
exposition
in May 2010, like the world’s
fairs of an earlier era. Every
country in the world was
responsible for building a
pavilion on the exposition
grounds to showcase their
national
culture and
traditions. Only two nations
were failing to participate,
Yang told me: tiny Andorra
and the United States. The
Chinese saw that as a sign of
disrespect, and also of
American decline. I
was
surprised to learn that we
weren’t pulling our weight
and pledged to Yang that I
would make sure the United
States was well represented.
I soon discovered that the
USA Pavilion was out of
money, way behind schedule,
and unlikely ever to be
completed unless things
changed dramatically. This
was not a good way to project
American
power and values
in Asia. So I made it a
personal priority to get our
pavilion built, which meant
raising money and support
from the private sector in
record time.
We pulled it off, and in
May 2010, I joined millions
of other visitors from around
the world to tour the expo.
The USA Pavilion showcased
American products and
stories that illustrated some of
our most cherished national
values: perseverance,
innovation, and diversity.
What struck me most were
the American students who
volunteered to serve as hosts
and guides.

He
was the most powerful man in
China, but he lacked the
personal authority of
predecessors
such as Deng
Xiaoping or Jiang Zemin. Hu
seemed to me more like an
aloof chairman of the board
than a hands-on CEO. How in
control he really was of the
entire sprawling Communist
Party apparatus
was an open
question, especially when it
came to the military.
“Grandpa Wen,” as the
Premier (the #2 official) was
called, worked hard to present
a kindly, soft-spoken image
to China and the world. But
in private he could be quite
pointed,
especially when he
was arguing that the United
States was responsible for the
global financial crisis or
when he brushed aside
criticism of China’s policies.
He was never combative, but
he
was more cutting than his
public persona might have
suggested.
In my early meetings with
these leaders, I proposed
making the U.S.-China
economic dialogue started by
former Treasury Secretary
Hank Paulson a strategic
dialogue as well, to cover a
much wider
range of issues
and bring together more
experts and officials from
across our two governments.
This wasn’t an excuse for the
State Department to elbow
into the conversation or to set
up a
high-profile debating
society. I knew that regular
talks, in essence a high-level
steering committee for the
relationship, would expand
our cooperation into new
areas and build greater trust
and
resiliency. Policymakers
on both sides would get to
know each other and become
used to working together.
Open lines of communication
would reduce the likelihood

By 2009, however, some
officials in China, especially
in the military, chafed at this
posture of restraint. They
thought that the United
States, long the most
powerful nation in the
Asia-
Pacific, was receding from
the region but still determined
to block China’s rise as a
great power in its own right.
It was, they thought, time for
a more assertive approach.
They were
emboldened by
the financial crisis of 2008
that weakened the U.S.
economy, the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan that sapped
American
attention and
resources, and a rising current
of nationalism among the
Chinese people. And so
China started making more
aggressive moves in Asia,
testing how hard it could
push.
In November 2009,
President Obama received a
noticeably lukewarm
reception during his visit to
Beijing. The Chinese insisted
on stage-managing most of
his appearances, refused to
give any ground
on issues
such as human rights or
currency valuation, and
offered pointed lectures on
America’s budget problems.
The
New York Times
described the joint press
conference between
President
Obama and President Hu as
“stilted”—so much so that it
was parodied on
Saturday
Night Live
. Many observers
wondered whether we were
seeing a new phase in the
relationship, with an
ascendant and assertive China
no longer hiding its resources
and enhanced military
capabilities, moving away
from “hide and bide” and
toward “show and
tell.”
The most dramatic arena
for Chinese assertiveness was
at sea. China, Vietnam, the
Philippines, and Japan all
have coasts on the South and

flowing through the region.
At least half the world’s
merchant tonnage passes
through the South China Sea,
including many shipments
headed to or from the United
States. Discoveries of new
offshore energy reserves and
surrounding fisheries have
made the waters around
otherwise unremarkable
clumps of rocks into potential
treasure troves. Old rivalries
heightened by the prospect of
new riches make for a
combustible recipe.
Throughout 2009 and 2010
China’s neighbors watched
with increasing alarm as
Beijing accelerated a naval
buildup and asserted its claim
to wide swaths of water,
islands, and energy reserves.
These actions were the
opposite of what former U.S.
Deputy Secretary of State
(and later president of the
World Bank) Robert Zoellick
had hoped for when he urged
China
to become a
“responsible stakeholder” in a
much-noted speech in 2005.
Instead China was becoming
what I called a “selective
stakeholder,” picking and
choosing when to act
like a
responsible great power and
when to assert the right to
impose its will on its smaller
neighbors.
In March 2009, just two
months into the Obama
Administration, five Chinese
ships confronted a lightly
armed U.S. naval vessel, the
Impeccable,
about seventy-
five miles from the Chinese
island province of Hainan.
The Chinese demanded that
the Americans leave what
they claimed were exclusive
territorial waters. The crew of
the
Impeccable
responded
that they were in
international
waters and had a right to free
navigation. Chinese sailors
threw pieces of wood in the
water to block the ship’s path.
The Americans responded by
spraying a fire hose at the

concerns escalated
when I was in Beijing for the
Strategic and
Economic
Dialogue in May 2010 and
for the first time heard
Chinese leaders describe the
country’s
territorial claims in
the South China Sea as a
“core interest” alongside
traditional hot-button topics
like Taiwan and Tibet. They
warned that China would not
tolerate outside
interference.
Later the meetings were
disrupted when a Chinese
admiral stood up and
launched into an angry rant
accusing the United States of
trying to encircle China and
suppress its rise. This
was
highly unusual in a carefully
choreographed summit, and
—although I assumed the
admiral had gotten at least a
tacit go-ahead from his
military and party bosses—it
appeared that some
of the
Chinese diplomats were as
surprised as I was.
The confrontations in the
South China Sea in the first
two years of the Obama
Administration reinforced my
belief that our strategy in
Asia must include a
significant effort to upgrade
the
region’s multilateral
institutions. The available
venues just weren’t effective
enough for resolving disputes
between nations or
mobilizing action. For the
smaller nations, it could
feel
like the Wild West: a frontier
without the rule of law, where
the weak were at the mercy of
the strong. Our goal was not
just to help defuse flash
points like the South or East
China Sea but
also to nurture
an international system of
rules and organizations in the
Asia-Pacific that could help
avoid future conflicts and
bring some order and long-
term stability to the
region—

Vietnam also presented a
unique—though challenging
—strategic opportunity. On
the
one hand, it remained an
authoritarian country with a
poor record on human rights,
especially press freedoms. On
the other, it was steadily
taking steps to open up its
economy and trying to claim
a
larger role in the region.
Over the years Vietnamese
officials had told me that,
despite the war we had fought
against them, they admired
and liked America.
One of our most important
tools for engaging with
Vietnam was a proposed new
trade agreement called the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP), which would link
markets throughout Asia and
the
Americas, lowering trade
barriers while raising
standards on labor, the
environment, and intellectual
property. As President
Obama explained, the goal of
the TPP negotiations is to
establish
“a high standard,
enforceable, meaningful trade
agreement” that “is going to
be incredibly powerful for
American companies who, up
until this point, have often
been locked out of
those
markets.” It was also
important for American
workers, who would benefit
from competing on a more
level playing field. And it
was a strategic initiative that
would strengthen the
position
of the United States in Asia.
Our country has learned
the hard way over the past
several decades that
globalization and the
expansion of international
trade brings costs as well as
benefits. On the 2008
campaign trail, both then-
Senator Obama and I had
promised to pursue smarter,
fairer trade agreements.
Because TPP negotiations are
still ongoing, it makes sense
to reserve judgment until we
can
evaluate the final
proposed agreement. It’s safe
to say that the TPP won’t be
perfect—no deal nego

>>9059959
Yeah let's make it even worse instead. Are you virusanon?

As
negotiations
gained
momentum, other countries in
the region felt the same way.
The TPP became the
signature economic pillar of
our strategy in Asia,
demonstrating the benefits of
a rules-based order and
greater
cooperation with the
United States.
On the afternoon of July
22, the ASEAN regional
meetings began in Hanoi’s
National Convention Center
with long, formal discussions
on trade, climate change,
human trafficking, nuclear
proliferation, North Korea,
and Burma. But as the
meetings stretched into the
second day, there was one
topic on everyone’s mind: the
South China Sea. The
territorial disputes, already
fraught with history,
nationalism, and economics,
had become a crucial test
question: Would China use its
growing power to dominate
an expanding sphere of
influence, or would the region
reaffirm
international norms
that bind even the strongest
nations? Naval vessels were
squaring off in contested
waters, newspapers were
whipping up nationalist
sentiments across the region,
and diplomats
were
scrambling to prevent open
conflict. Yet China kept
insisting this wasn’t an
appropriate topic for a
regional conference.
That night I gathered Kurt
Campbell and my Asia team
to review our plans for the
next day. What we had in
mind would require subtle
diplomacy, calling on all the
groundwork we had laid in
the

What did we even do to deserve this?

When I was finished, I
could see that Chinese
Foreign Minister Yang was
livid. He asked for an hour-
long break before coming
back to deliver his response.
Staring directly at me, he
dismissed
the disputes in the
South China Sea and warned
against outside interference.
Looking at his Asian
neighbors, he reminded them,
“China is a big country.
Bigger than any other
countries
here.” It was not a
winning argument in that
room.
The confrontation in Hanoi
did not resolve the contests in
the South and East China
Seas; those remain active and
dangerous as of this writing.
But in subsequent years,
diplomats in the region
would
point to that meeting as a
tipping point, both in terms of
American leadership in Asia
and in the pushback against
Chinese overreach.
As I headed back to
Washington, I felt more
confident about our strategy
and position in Asia. When
we started in 2009, many in
the region doubted our
commitment and our staying
power. Some in
China sought
to take advantage of that
perception. Our pivot strategy
was designed to dispel those
doubts. During one long
discussion with Dai, he
exclaimed, “Why don’t you
‘pivot’ out of here?” I had

meetings stretched into the

topic on everyone’s mind: the

fraught with history,
nationalism, and economics,

On the plane home from
Hanoi, with my head still full
of South China Sea drama, it
was time to turn my attention
to other urgent business. We
were just over a week away
from
what would be one of
the most important events in
my life. The press was
clamoring for information,
and I had a lot of work to do
to get ready. This time it
wasn’t a high-level summit or
a
diplomatic crisis. It was my
daughter’s wedding, a day I
had been looking forward to
for thirty years.
I was amused by how
much attention Chelsea’s
plans were getting, and not
just in the United States. In
Poland in early July, an
interviewer had asked me
how I was juggling
preparations for
the wedding
while representing America
as Secretary of State. “How
can you cope with two quite
different tasks, but both of
them extremely serious?” he
asked. And how serious a
task it
was! When Bill and I
got married in 1975, the
ceremony took place in front
of a few friends and family in
the living room of our little
house in Fayetteville,
Arkansas. I wore a lace-and-
muslin
Victorian dress I had
found shopping with my
mother the night before.
Times had changed.
Chelsea and our soon-to-be
son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky,
planned an unforgettable
weekend for their families
and friends in Rhinebeck,
New York. As mother of the
bride, I was delighted to help
in
every way I could,
including reviewing
photographs of flower
arrangements from the road
and making time for tastings
and dress selection

she was visited by Molly. Lori silently reached for a knife before Molly asked her if she had seen Angus. Apparently he had killed three entire families last night and she was wondering if she knew anything. Lori responded...

Chelsea looked absolutely
stunning, and watching her
walk down the aisle with Bill,
I couldn’t believe that the
baby girl I had held in my
arms for the first time on
February 27, 1980, had
grown into this beautiful and
poised woman. Bill was as
emotional as I was, maybe
even more so, and I was just
glad he made it down the
aisle in one piece. Marc was
beaming as Chelsea joined
him
under the chuppah, a
canopy of willow branches
and flowers that is part of the
Jewish marriage tradition.
The service was led by the
Reverend William Shillady
and Rabbi James Ponet, and
they hit
just the right note.
Marc stepped on a glass, in
keeping with Jewish tradition,
and everyone cheered.
Afterward Bill danced with
Chelsea to “The Way You
Look Tonight.” It was one of
the
happiest and proudest
moments of my life.
So many thoughts went
through my head. Our family
had been through a lot
together, good times and hard
times, and now here we were,
celebrating the best of times.
I was especially glad that my
mother had been able to see
this day. She overcame a
difficult childhood with very
little love or support, and yet
still figured out how to be a
loving and caring mom to me
and my brothers, Hugh
and
Tony. She and Chelsea shared
a special bond, and I knew
how much it meant to
Chelsea to have her
grandmother beside her as
she planned her wedding and
married Marc.
I thought about the future,
and the life that Chelsea and
Marc would build together.
They had so many dreams
and ambitions. This, I

as Secretary, a team of
engineers descended on our
home in northwest
Washington. They installed a
bright yellow
secure
telephone so that even at odd
hours of the night, I could
speak to the President or an
Ambassador in some faraway
embassy about sensitive
topics. It was a constant
reminder that the troubles
of
the world were never far from
home.
At 9:36 on the night of
Wednesday, April 25, 2012,
the yellow phone rang. It was
my Director of Policy
Planning and Deputy Chief of
Staff Jake Sullivan, calling
from his own secure line on
the
seventh floor of the State
Department, where he’d
hastily returned from a rare
night off. He told me that our
embassy in Beijing faced an
unexpected crisis and
urgently needed direction.
Unbeknownst to us, less
than a week earlier, a blind,
forty-year-old human rights
activist named Chen
Guangcheng had escaped
from house arrest in
Shandong Province by
climbing over the wall of
his
home. He broke his foot but
managed to elude the local
police assigned to watch him.
Leaving his family behind, he
set out on a journey hundreds
of miles to Beijing with the
help of a
modern-day
Underground Railroad of
fellow dissidents and
supporters. While in hiding in
Beijing he made contact with
a Foreign Service officer at
the American Embassy who
had long ties to the
Chinese
human rights community. She
immediately recognized the
seriousness of the situation.
Chen had gained notoriety

>>9059992
No idea,friend. And then i get called an autist when i replied to the "obvious" troll who suggested the RP. I mean i dont deny the autist part,im a fucking weirdo, but this a sad sight. I do wonder though, from where is he copypasting all this shit? He mustnt have written it all himself. Or i just dont know it?

A number of factors made
this a particularly difficult
decision. First there were the
logistics. Chen had a broken
foot and was a wanted man. If
we didn’t act quickly, he
would likely be
captured. To
make matters worse, Chinese
security regularly maintained
a robust presence outside our
embassy. If Chen tried to
walk up to the front door,
they would surely seize him
before we could
even unbolt
the lock. The only way to get
him safely inside would be to
send a team out into the
streets to quietly pick him up.
Bob Wang, our Deputy Chief
of Mission in Beijing,
estimated that
Chen’s chances
of getting in on his own were
less than 10 percent. He
thought it was above 90
percent if we went out and
got him. That, however,
would certainly increase
tensions with the
Chinese.
Timing was also a factor.
As it happened, I was
preparing to depart in five
days for Beijing myself, to
participate in the annual
Strategic and Economic
Dialogue with Treasury
Secretary Tim
Geithner and
our Chinese counterparts. It
was the culmination of an
entire year’s worth of
painstaking diplomatic work,
and we had a full agenda of
important and sensitive
issues, including
tensions in
the South China Sea,
provocations
from North
Korea, and economic
concerns like currency
valuation and intellectual
property theft. If we agreed to
help Chen, there
was a real
chance that the Chinese
leaders would be so angry
they would cancel the
summit. At the very least we
could expect much less
cooperation on matters of
significant strategic
importan

As I weighed this decision,
I thought of the dissidents
who sought refuge in
American Embassies in
Communist countries during
the Cold War. One of them,
Cardinal József Mindszenty
of
Hungary, stayed for fifteen
years. In 1989 Fang Lizhi and
his wife, Li Shuxian, Chinese
physicists and prominent
activists during the protests in
Tiananmen Square, spent
nearly thirteen months in
the
embassy in Beijing before
finally making it to the
United States. This legacy
hung over the Chen case from
the beginning.
I also had in mind a much
more recent incident. In
February 2012, just two
months earlier, a Chinese
police chief named Wang
Lijun walked into the U.S.
Consulate in Chengdu, the
capital of the
southwestern
province of Sichuan, looking
for help. Until his fall from
grace, Wang had been the
right-hand man of Bo Xilai,
the powerful Communist
Party boss of a nearby
province. Wang had helped
Bo run a vast network of
corruption and graft. He
eventually claimed to have
knowledge of a cover-up of
the murder of a British
businessman by Bo’s wife.
Bo was a colorful figure and
a rising
star in the national
Communist Party, but his
spectacular abuses of power,
including the alleged
wiretapping of President Hu
Jintao, unnerved his elders in
Beijing. They began
investigating both Bo
and
Wang. Afraid that he would
end up like the poisoned Brit,
Wang fled to our consulate in
Chengdu with a head full of
stories.
While he was inside,
security forces loyal to Bo
surrounded the building. It
was a tense moment. Wang
Lijun was no human rights
dissident, but we couldn’t just
turn him over to the men
outside; that would
effectively have been a death
sentence, and the cover-up
would have continued. We
also couldn’t keep him in the

Deputy Secretary
Bill Burns, and Counselor
Cheryl Mills. Kurt had been
coordinating closely with our
embassy in
Beijing since
Chen first made contact, and
he told me we probably had
less than an hour to make a
decision. The embassy had
assembled a team that was
ready to move to an agreed-
upon rendezvous
point as
soon as I gave the word. We
talked it through one more
time, and then I said, “Go get
him.”
In the end it wasn’t a close
call. I have always believed
that, even more than our
military and economic power,
America’s values are the
greatest source of strength
and security.
This isn’t just
idealism; it’s based on a
clear-eyed evaluation of our
strategic position. The United
States had talked about
human rights in China for
decades, across Democratic
and
Republican
administrations alike. Now
our credibility was on the
line, with the Chinese and
also with other countries in
the region and around the
world. If we didn’t help
Chen, it would
undermine our
position everywhere.
I also was making a
calculated gamble that, as the
hosts of the upcoming
summit, the Chinese had
invested at least as much as
we had in keeping it on track.
Finally, with the Bo Xilai
scandal
and the impending
leadership transition, they had
their hands full and wouldn’t
have much appetite for a new
crisis. I was willing to bet that
Beijing would not blow up
the entire
relationship over
this one incident.
Once I gave the go-ahead,
things started to move fast.
Bob Wang departed the
embassy en route to the
rendezvous. Meanwhile it fell
to Jake to brief the White
House.

Yeah sure, leave your name, address and credit card info and I'll take em down.

Once we had plotted our
course, I told Kurt to get on a
plane to Beijing as soon as
possible so he could manage
the negotiations in person. He
would depart late on Friday,
April 27, arriving
before
dawn on Sunday. Bill would
follow the next day. We also
recalled Ambassador Gary
Locke from a family vacation
in Bali and tracked down the
State Department Legal
Advisor, former Yale Law
School Dean Harold Koh,
who happened to be traveling
in a remote part of China.
When Cheryl reached him
and asked how long it would
take to get to a secure line, he
said at least four hours.
“Go,”
she said. “I’ll explain when
you get there.”
When Kurt touched down
in Beijing, he immediately
made his way
to the third
floor of the embassy’s Marine
barracks. The Chinese
security presence around the
compound
had grown
significantly since the day
before, and inside it felt like a
siege. Chen appeared frail
and vulnerable. It was hard to
believe that this slight man
with the large dark glasses
was at the
center of a brewing
international incident.
I was relieved to hear from
Kurt that he found at least a
little good news waiting for
him: The Chinese had agreed
to meet. Considering we were
talking about one of their own
citizens, picked up
on
Chinese soil, that in itself was
promising. What’s more,
Chen seemed to have already
bonded with Bob and some of
the other Mandarin-speaking
officers at the embassy, and
he was declaring
his firm
desire to remain in China
rather than seek asylum or
