Josh Chin, Beijing Tries to Blunt US Influence. Wall Street Journal, Nov 13, 2014

(a) the first two paragraph online:

"For decades, Jimmy Carter has been celebrated in Beijing for normalizing U.S. relations with China. The accolade helped the former president’s think tank win access to work on potentially sensitive issues like village democracy.
