There's another way to look at this.
If only for a short while, McGuinty will afflict another people, rasping out promise after promise which no one even asked him for.
Perhaps he'll run government-paid ads on Chinese television while he's there, ones with an 800-number to hear a recorded message of Dalton promising still more.
The Chinese, a clever people, will experience the full flavor of democratic government in Ontario.
I wouldn't be surprised if his trip sets back the coming of democracy to China by at least a decade.
