If you had caught me straight out of college in the halls of the Vermont State House where I was a lobbyist in training and asked me what I was going to do with my life, I would have told you that I'd just passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the Chinese equivalency exam, and I was going to go study law in Beijing, and I was going to improve U.S.-China relations through top-down policy changes and judicial system reforms.
Si me hubieran viso cuando salí de la universidad en los pasillos de la Vermont State House donde me entrenaba para hacer lobby y me hubieran preguntado qué iba a hacer con mi vida, yo les habría contestado que acababa de pasar el Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, el examen de chino, que iba a estudiar derecho en Pekín, y que iba a mejorar las relaciones entre EE.UU. y China cambiando políticas, con enfoque vertical, y reformando el sistema judicial.
