What i would say a cruelistic interest and demand. The problem is, i think, the whole nation. They should stay away from a new cause of regional issues. It may not be possible to look up, but i think it is a reminder all of the things we should have in mind. But the promise the reason the case to get chinaus in tension is some sort of say a small power trick. Then there is the question of coming out. It is a great power game. Among with a small power trip. So then the Regional Security pictures have never been more complicated. Of course after the United States is china so we need to compete and cooperate. But we need to develop a shared vision. Everybody knows we should have a shared interest. We should have a shared convergence interest and how can we develop a shared vision . I think the key case is how to deal with what the master politics and what was left. China is a very unique system. There is a poplar figure but i never heard any positive words in the western media. So how a g
On the dernlt day the two sides will talk to each other. Mike viqueira is at the white house and looks ahead to thursdays meeting. Well thursday is shaping up to a big day in this drama. On thursday the president met with house democrats. All 200 at the white house. All marching in lock step to put pressure on the House Republicans to allow a clean spending bill on the floor of the house to rye open the government and to pass a debt ceiling hike for the short term. On thursday, the democrats singing from the same hill all as the president harry reid their leader has been a tough guy in these negotiations turning back republican efforts to undermine their position. After the Senate Republicans lead the group the House Republicans will be here visiting with president obama who invited all 233 of them here, they declined. John boehner says he is sending the elected leadership of House Republicans and key chairmen the key group and key affiliated members will not be here. That is going to
The first, i think, and most conspicuous reason is that the president ial election in afghanistan will occur on the 5th of april, and it will be the election which will facilitate the transition of authority and power from the karzai government in whatever form that has taken over the many years that they have been, he has been in power to what will come next. And were now beginning to get clarity on who those candidates will be. Some of them we expected, some of them we didnt. I think weve got some pretty strong candidates, actually. That elections going to be very important. Its going to be very important not just in the technical outcome, it is a democratic process that we hope will render an outcome that is credible, internationally recognizable as a credible democratic outcome. It will produce an administration with whom we hope we can work over the long term. Theres no reason to believe that it wouldnt given the slate of candidates were beginning to see merge. See emerge. But wha
Remember this is posted vietnam syndrome when the nation was reluctant in international affairs. Jimmy carter has hardly improved the situation but you have to sympathize with his predicament. President obama came to power after two terms of george w. Bush, which i have to say did not quite improve American Global spending. At the same time the United States maintains the predominant power, no question about that pitted the United States remains a predominant economic power. That is what putin basically was talking about. In terms of the Financial System we build it and continue to run it and everyone depends upon us and on the chinese. Even if you are exceptional, you have two act and the purpose and i think when people in different countries, theyre asking, what kind of barack obama are they dealing with . I got a call yesterday from a leading gentleman journalist who reminded me how obama the team immensely popular in europe, especially in germany when he was still a candidate in de
Dial in the arrangements in which Henry Kissinger reached effectively in the early 1970s. Which was a strategic accommodation between washington and beijing based on a common strategic between the soviet union. And the subsequent unfolding of what then become modernizing china, as well. Have we reached a new point at which that fundamental access has changed. I think personally that the shanghai meeting represents the culmination of the forces which have been in work for quite some time in the china russia relationship and the china u. S. Relationship which begin fundamentally to alter the premises of the 1972 strategic concord. The second point i would seek to go to how then our analysis to one side is this reality viewed from beijing . And then finally, and though i am no russia file, russia expert and no sovietologist by training, how some of these realities have viewed from moscow, as well. On the china view of reality, i think its always important to go back to the fundamental pri
