[edit] Plot

While preparing the upcoming China summit, the Chinese are insulted by President Bartlet's acceptance of a Taiwanese independence movement flag at a prayer breakfast. Meanwhile, former Vice-President John Hoynes asks Josh to run his presidential campaign. Charlie must try and return the flag, and CJ has to agree to stipulations the Chinese are making in order to mend bridges. Eventually at a performance by James Taylor that evening, Jed confides to Abbey that he didn't see the flag. He's lost the sight in his right eye.
