Brayan Cunningham · Answer 1

President George H. W. Bush is a very conservative and pragmatic leader. He showed these traits in dealing with foreign affairs. Before acting on a situation, he studies the policies first. An example of his conservatism and pragmatism involved China.

When the Chinese government gunned down their people who conducted a peaceful protest, the US government didn't react as harshly as its people wanted. They imposed limited sanctions. This is because President Bush knows that they still have to deal with China in the future. He did not burn down the bridge on this foreign relation.
