Canada-Harper's belated China dialogue

Prime Minister Stephen Harper arrives in China tomorrow on a "charm offensive" to reverse a season of neglect. Relations with the People's Republic have drifted on his watch, even as sheer market forces have made China our second biggest trading partner, with $53 billion in two-way trade. The partnership needs some sprucing up.
But as U.S. President Barack Obama has discovered, it isn't easy to woo China's leaders without inviting domestic criticism. During his own recent trip, Obama was hammered at home for appearing overly deferential, for winning no concessions on Beijing's undervalued currency, and for pulling his punches on human rights.
