Seeing China in good company聽

I wish to thank the Monitor and correspondent Ann Scott Tyson for the excellent Jan. 22 cover story that detailed her return to China after 25 years.聽

Not only was this article informative regarding this burgeoning economy, it became so by drawing a vibrant picture of places and things in China that rarely come to our attention, and it framed the experience in an utterly charming and touching manner.聽

I came away feeling as though I have seen a great deal of China in good company.聽

Reciprocity in a relationship聽

Regarding the March 2 Monitor Daily editorial, 鈥淭he moral question behind Trump鈥檚 plan on metal tariffs鈥�: Thank you for explaining the importance of reciprocity as central to a thriving relationship. But what happens when both sides don鈥檛 see reciprocity the same way? In an ideal world, everybody would be looking out for the other鈥檚 interest because we are all connected. So how do we cultivate the sense of oneness?聽

Following up with lawman, outlaw

I found the Feb. 12 cover story, 鈥淭he lawman and the outlaw,鈥� to be well balanced between the outlaw and the lawman. I would like to see a follow-up in two years that looks into how both people are doing.聽

Exploring music聽

The Feb. 26 OneWeek article 鈥淚s music a gift all humans share?鈥� was fascinating. It made me want to explore the research discussed more deeply. Thank you. I would like to see more like this, please.
