Not a Sputnik Moment

From James Fallows' blog, Jorge and Paola Guajardo point to the image above and write:
At a time when China is making a lot of Americans nervous, what could be less threatening than its leader arriving in a Boeing-747, made in Seattle and bearing the Star Alliance logo?
Also, a commenter points to this spot-on article from The Economist, which also has the clever cartoon below.
