Top diplomats to gauge broader Sino-US ties
(chinadaily.com.cn)
Updated: 2005-07-19 12:36 Some foreign affairs specialists believed that the Sino-China relationship
was more critical in the long run than Middle East, because they believe the
emergence of a major new power could challenge the leading role of the United
States in world affairs.
"There's no reason to believe we are any smarter today than the policymakers
who 'mismanaged' the rise of Germany and Japan (before the second World War), "
former State Department official and conservative commentator Robert Kagan wrote
in a recent article in the Washington Post regarding the challenge of China's
emergence towards the United States.
Some experts outside the administration described the new talk as a positive
step, the LA Times reported.
"What the administration is doing is critically necessary," said
Representative Robert Wexler, a member of the House International Relations
Committee, who recently visited China. "China will rise with or without the
U.S., so the real question is if the U.S. can also prosper and if it can play a
constructive role in creating an environment where China can cooperate on common
interests."
Some U.S.-China specialists interpreted the broad perspective of the new
conversation as a chance for the U.S. to show a receptive stance to China's
uprising power.
"Our goal is to see the rise of a China that is a positive force in
international politics," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week in
Beijing.
Despite of all these positive gesture toward China, the emotion toward
Beijing has been complicated and even contradictory.
