Why do I get the feeling that the ONLY reason Snarling Dick is travelling there is to shake down the Chinese for the BFEE?

In addition to reactors, he is also gonna strong arm the Chinese about wireless products.

Cheney to Visit China, Address Wireless Trade Spat
U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney is getting ready to visit Chinese
officials to speak about the war in Iraq as well as economic and
trade issues. The visit comes as the U.S. government presses China

computers and other hi-tech products containing Wi-Fi technology in
an apparent violation of world trade rules. --Reuters--

This news article overview is from an industry newsletter that I get re: Wireless Communications news. I looked for the story on Reuters, but it must be over a day old. So, no link...
