China and the 700 billion.

[lonestarnot]

Paulson has personally built close relations with China during his career. In July 2008 it was reported by The Daily Telegraph that: "Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson has intimate relations with the Chinese elite, dating from his days at Goldman Sachs when he visited the country over 70 times.

Paulson worked with former President of the People's Republic of China Jiang Zemin to preserve the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan province.


Paulson is also on the Board of Directors of the Peregrine Fund; was the founding Chairman of the Advisory Board of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University in Beijing; and, previously served as chairman of the influential trade group, the Financial Services Forum.

Paulson has conceded that chances were slim for agreeing on a method to reform Social Security financing, but said he would keep trying to find bipartisan support for it. <19> Paulson said it was important to try to "get people together and come to the table without preconditions" but, if it doesn't work, at least he will "move the ball downfield" and get in position for reform in the future. "Maybe we'll score a touchdown. Maybe we'll bring people together," he said. "But if we don't, we want to get the ball in scoring position for the next president."

1. I'm not sure what to make of Paulson. (I KNOW I don't like the bailout)

Also from Wiki:

-snip-

As an environmental leader and philanthropist, Paulson while at Goldman Sachs, oversaw the corporate donation 680,000 forested acres on the Chilean side of Tierra del Fuego, which led to criticisms from Goldman shareholder groups <12>. He further donated 100 million of assets from his wealth to conservancy causes. He pledged his entire fortune for the same purpose at death. <13> He has also been considered someone who can influence world and business leaders to think beyond the bottom line. <14>
