Partner or Threat? US Congress View on Sino-US

Feb 8, Congressmen Kirk(R-IL) and Larsen (D-WA), coming back from a trip to China in January, provided update on US-China relations.

No Change to Engagement

Both say, even there may be more than 600 views of china among 500 congressmen and women, the view of engaging china is strong.

Because, engagement with china is best to the US interest. In terms of a fight between the US and China, both lose, no winner.

When asked about Chinese views on Taiwan, Kirk mentioned in a recent trip, that some key problems are facing Chinese leaders, such as unrest and inequity, which are more dominating Chinese leader's mind.

The rest will be posted on Monday, Feb. 13, yes, US Whitehouse time.
