China&#8217;s image has also been helped by loosened travel restrictions on its own nationals, which have increased the number of Chinese business people and tourists heading abroad from 12 million in 2001 to 34 million in 2006. These itinerant Chinese spread the image of a worldly country with plenty of money to spend, whether in Parisian boutiques or in new business projects in Africa, Asia or Latin America. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/17886723\/site\/newsweek\/\">[Full Text]<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>: Kurlantzick is a visiting scholar at the China Program of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
