(book review on Brett M Decker and William C Triplett II, Bowing to Beijing; How Barack Obama is hastening America's decline and ushering a century of Chinese domination. Regnery, 2011)

My comment:
(a) The book cover is in the left upper corner of the web page, NOT the "illustration: Bowing to Beijing" (with red background and yellow bold English words and China's emblem).

The description about the "illustration is the following paragraph in the book review:

"At a major nuclear summit in 2010, Mr. Obama bent over and bowed fully to Mr. Hu. The Chinese leader did not reciprocate. In fact, his face and body language conveyed the opposite: contempt. The protocol breech is nuts, and frequent. As president, Mr. Obama is constantly abnegating himself to foreign leaders. The emperor of Japan, the king of Saudi Arabia, the queen of England - there is almost no one to whom he will not bow. Domestically, he has bowed to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and even to the Democratic mayor of Tampa Bay. It is odd. The authors say Mr. Obama even has bowed repeatedly to midlevel Chinese functionaries.

(i) It is misspelled--"breach" rather than "breech."
(ii) abnegate (vt; back-formation from abnegation):
"1: deny, renounce <abnegated their God>
2: surrender, relinquish <abnegated her powers>"

(b) There is no need to read the rest of the book review, except paragraph 2 for authors' background.
