Apparently U.S. Vice President Biden and Ambassador Locke have a less-than-desirable opportunity to wield their diplomatic skills: a friendship basketball game between Georgetown University and a Chinese team in Beijing resulted in a melee. See http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/08/18/world/asia/AP-AS-China-US-Basketball-Brawl.html?_r=1 .
Sally Jenkins sketches the broader political and cultural backdrop of the game at http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/georgetown-basketball-brawls-spark-isnt-clear-but-situation-was-obviously-flammable/2011/08/18/gIQAOkpVOJ_story.html?hpid=z2 . As well, she writes that Hoyas Coach John Thompson showed some diplomatic skill.
