- "PRC Foreign Relations after the National People's Congress: Iraq, North Korea, SARS, and Taiwan,"
by Thomas Christensen (MIT) China Leadership Monitor, SUMMER 2003 ISSUE 7. "Although the NPC followed predicted paths, this outcome does not mean the event was
unimportant to PRC foreign policy. On the contrary, China's behavior on the international stage has changed
significantly since the NPC on two key issues for U.S.-China relations and China's role in the region: North
Korea and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Although neither problem is close to being solved
permanently, China adopted an about-face on both issues in the weeks after the NPC ended and the U.S.-led
war in Iraq began. The military overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime in Baghdad and the passing of the NPC
were, arguably, the two most important determinants of the new trends."
