Friends in Asia for USA

Washington Post,March 10, 2009 on page A12:

Editorial - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to devalue and undermine the US diplomatic tradition of some advocacy. On her first foreign trip to Asia, she was dismissive about raising rights concerns with China, saying those issues can't interfere with economic, security or environmental matters. Such rationale is similar or identical to an article,"Trading up to global recovery" by Charlene Barshefsky on page A11 as per my prior blog.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang has arrived in Washington for three-day visit to make arrangements for the meeting of President Obama and President Hu in London, April 2nd. Moreover,Yang will meet with Treasury Secretary and other officials plus a speech touching Sino-American economics as I would envision.

I have reason to believe that such strategic meetings would generate mutual benefits from positively active Sino-American Economics.

On Page C1,C8, Georgetown Dean Robert Gallucci to lead philanthropic MacArthur Foundation to offer grants for peace and security. Both USA and China have common interests in peace and security in the 21st century. Cf. Recovery Rides on the G-2 (USA and China) by World Bank Group. It is desirable for leaders to make eleemosynary effort for humanity.
