1.
In a surprising display of accessibility ,
Beijing's top leaders have been meeting with almost every American
visitor, right down to the lowlist junior congressional representative
in town.
How to understand in "a suprising display of accessiblity" in this sententce?
Beijing's top leaders are explicitly cooperative to meet... .
This phrase (In a surprising display of accessibility) is overly affected and haughty to me.

2. "I dont think its the role of any ambassador to gratuitously offend the country he is credentialed to".
Is credentialed to means sent to ?
I do not think an ambassador should with no cause engage in besmirching the country (s)he visits.

3. By overemphasizing Sasser's role
in the overall relationship, China may feel safe in ignoring the many
demands coming out of Washington.
China's refusing orders confidently imposed on them from Washington is derived from Sassaer's inflated diplomatic importance in the relationships with US.
