With a lot of actions undertaken by the U.S. at the first quarter of 2010, the Sino-US ties have been threatened. The arms sale to Taiwan, President Obama's meeting with controversial Dalai Lama, supporting Google and intervening in the matter between Google and Chinese government, pressing Chinese government to reevaluate Yuan, have created a lot of questions about the true desire of U.S. to have a diplomatic solution and to have a healthy relationship. There are a lot of issues where U.S. is pressing on China. Climate change & Human rights, where China is doing all the best and even proving themselves better than any other countries, western media has kept attacking China without any valid reason.
A news of Washington post at Feb 28, 2010 was written "China has an army of hackers ready to read your most intimate e-mails and spy on corporations and super-secret government agencies". It is without any proof and is very offensive and embarrassing.
If the Americans start taking China as an enemy rather than a friend, in return China would be free to think the same. It has always been assured by the words and actions of Chinese leaders that they have no interest in ruling the world like a imperialistic country. China believes in growth and development with mutual understanding and wants to play the role in the world economy and word affairs what they are supposed to play. They are not going to push it violently to gain control over any region or segment. Chinese government assures that the growth of China doesn't hampers or halts the growth of other countries, and it is also not expected that some other country would interfere in the internal affairs of China.
The bilateral relationship between China and the U.S. is a very important variable for the world economy and world affairs. United States doesn't require being over cautious about the growth of China and also doesn't need to underestimate the values and ability of China. Rather for a better future of the world, it is much expected that both countries will try to match the better position and fit in a win-win strategy. This world is already being threatened by global warming issue. The world economy has recently experienced recession. Both countries requires to have agreement in between rather than conflicts.
