Perhaps she would learn more of the cultural background of leadership in China i.e. to be modest under the influence of Confucianism. However,she is right in supporting US-China Strategic Economic Dialogue providing a framework for bilateral cooperation on economic,environmental and energy issues as the sequel of the views expressed by the specialist for agreement. I would recommend the study of Chinese language and culture for American specialists to have genuine understanding of China from original source materials in the Chinese language with built-in Chinese culture.
