China and the Next Administration in USA

Washington Post,Nov.30,08 page B5: Beijing and Washington: The Case for a Really Long Engagement - Dec.5 conference sponsored by Outlook and CNA, a non-partisan think tank. Four specialists express their views:

Thomas Christensen,Professor at Princeton University:

US-China diplomacy should build upon current trends, not transformation apropos of political and security affairs.

Orville Schell,Director of US-China relations of the Asia Society:

By collaborating to develop, use and market energy technologies,the US and China will benefit from many aspects of common interests.

Carla Hills,US Trade Representative from 1989-93:

China has become our third largest markekt for exports. US and China interests overlap in critical areas such as global growth,regional security, nuclear proliferation,energy secury,food and product safety, environmental protection and climate change.

David M. Finkelstein,VP of CNA,Director of China studies program:

It serves neither Beijing's nor Washington's intersts to halt military contact at every diplomatic bump. The stakes are just too high. There are many areas where the two militaries could be cooperating for mutual benefit.

My comment: In the name of globalization of peace and economic development,USA and China must work closely in the 21st century especially the fighting of Terrorism and financial crisis in the world. I would strongly recommend to the interested readers to read the details from the Washington Post dated Nov.30,08 page B5.
