WashPost,Jan.21,09 Headline: OBAMA TAKES CHARGE

"Huge crowd converges to witness historic inauguration": Nation asked to begin task of 'Remaking America' Remaking America to have good relations with other nations especially economic relations with China. Such rationale is stated by Secretary of State nominee Hillary Clinton several days ago. It is obvious that two great nations on both sides of the Pacific must cooperate and collaborate with many global problems. I mentioned such in "Work and Study Cycle Theory"(1978) as the main conclusion in such work for my vision. Cf. www.loc.gov(Library of Congress online catalog and Georgetown University Library online catalog for information.

Such headline reminds me of the book entitled "Remaking China Policy" by Richard Moorsteen,RAND Corporation economist. www.rand.org for reference. Published by Harvard University Press,1971. I hsppened to review the book at the library of Foreign Service Institute of the State Department in 1998.

Economists are expected to have vision. Economist Richard Moorsteen had such vision in 1960s. When I was doing research at RAND,I published "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language"(1965)www.rand.org for reference. On page 8,I hinted for China to join the international community involving US engagement with China for mutual benefit as my vision. The energy security problem is a case of point as Secretary of Energy nominee Steven Chu answered the queries in Congress several days ago apropos of China's role for global energy problem.

It is 2009 now and international financial crisis would need China to play an important role for global economic crisis.

I have reason to believe that President Obama will follow up such policy with positive scenario for the best interest of America re US-China economic relations.

It is interesting for the readers to witness such happening as envisioned by economist Moorsteen decades ago with my paper for endorsement in the same track four decades ago.
