Watch GPS special 'Memo to the President' on CNN this Sunday at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET
By Minxin Pei, Special to CNN
Editor’s note: Minxin Pei is the Tom and Margot Pritzker '72 professor of government and director of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College. The views expressed are his own.
Your first administration got off to a shaky start on China, mainly because you assumed that by showing sufficient respect you could gain Beijing’s cooperation. But your overtures, shall we say, yielded disappointing results. The mid-stream adjustment of your China policy has been a great success, in no small part thanks to Beijing’s disastrous policy to assert its territorial claims in a way that alarmed and alienated its neighbors. You have put China decidedly on the defensive in strategic terms.
It may be tempting to press for more geopolitical advantage in your second term. But things are changing in East Asia, and your China policy, a critical anchor of your grand foreign policy strategy, must be fine-tuned as a result.
First, China’s new regime, headed by Xi Jinping, deserves the benefit of the doubt. His predecessor has failed to reciprocate your friendly gestures, but Mr. Xi, based on his more pro-reform rhetoric, appears to be a different leader. Reaching out to him at this point will not only earn some valuable goodwill, but can also temporarily put the brakes on the hidden downward spiral in U.S.-China relations caused by growing mutual suspicions. And your success in handling China since 2010 is not without cost. A wide range of elites in China – both in and outside the government, including liberal intellectuals – are now converging on a dangerous (albeit not wholly unfounded) consensus that American security policy has the intent of containing China. Changing this view is not easy, but avoiding a needless strategic conflict with China is in America’s interest. In the longer term, the United States will best advance its vital national interests by doing whatever it can to promote a democratic transition in China. So as long as Mr. Xi seems to be taking China in a more open direction, it does not hurt to relax the security pressure on China a bit.
More from CNN: China won't turn other cheek
This brings up the second point: what can be done to build on the success of your China policy in the last two years.
The most immediate task is to use American influence to defuse the brewing Sino-Japan crisis over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. Regardless of the culpability for this crisis, American interest lies in stability in the region. China has already sent a message to Washington urging its intervention. The U.S. can play a mediating role in calming the situation.
Another important task is to switch the focus on the South China Sea. While American policy has effectively isolated China, it is important to remember that the strategic objective is not to embarrass or humiliate China, but to help resolve a potentially dangerous maritime dispute. So the next step to take is to push for a diplomatic solution. Of course, China will have to make its own concessions first. An adjustment in policy here requires exploratory efforts to seek a way out for the claimants in the dispute that will at least avoid ugly escalations in the near term.
Finally, you need to couple your softening stance on the security front with a hardening of positions on human rights. The root cause of U.S.-China strategic competition is the persistence of one-party rule in China. Promoting democracy and human rights serves American long-term interests. The fact is that such a rebalancing of your policy will both defend American interests and advance its values.

Mr. Pei,
Weather you are Christian or not, thanks for mentioning the Christian version word,"China won't turn other cheek".
Thank you.
America was almost, not only the fiscal cliff, but it was on total cliff, to crumbled.
WHY?
Because, it is ignoring Almighty God. It is also forgetting and dis-respecting, those Heroes who were the founders of America. Back in their times, Christian-Americans faced, wars, hardships, starvations and they turned their own other Cheeks to their enemies, to fulfil their bright goals, for future generations of America.
But, currently, all kinds of non-Christians, are promising to destroyed America, inside and outside America.
America, it is time to turn yourself to Almighty God.
America = Christian
In Almighty God, we trust!
"But, currently, all kinds of non-Christians, are promising to destroyed America, inside and outside America."
Uhm, really? When you look at the corruption and destruction spearheaded by government, corporations, and labor unions, your argument is as hollow as you are.
You see, most of the people doing the damage to Americans are Christian.
But you are too focused on your religious agenda to see that.
Amen! Take God out of the system, all that is left is man to fend for themselves. Our society is so selfish, many have forgotten our roots. All we can do is pray for our country! God Bless
The christian god is a monster. An evil being. A being that ordered the ancient Jews to commit genocide many times and then let Hitler have his way with the god's "chosen people".
The further we get from the deceitful claims of religion, the better.
Don't be a hater Sean! Jesus loves you even if you are a moron
Why do you think that the most prosperous nation in the world was founded on Christianity. If you look at countries around the world that have denied the belief of Jesus, they are in shambles....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The first amendment gives you freedom to believe by whatever name you call god. The first amendment is the foundation of the American idea. Our principle.
The USA should stop admitting chinese immigrating from red china.
communist chinese like to pretend that they are the best in the world.
In reality, communist chinese are just copying and imitating original ideas or stealing technology from the US and the west. communist china has no capability to generate the original idea and are totally dependent on the USA. Even if they have a 5000 year history, the communist chinese will always lag behind America.
chinese communists have no morals and no shame and are nothing but thieves with big egos. Their obvious goal of global domination will never succeed and surely fail because of their shameless dishonesty and because they are morally bankrupt with absolutely zero integrity and honor.
the chinese communists should ask themselves honestly why despite their claim to have a 5000 year history, they cannot deny the truth that:
it was the free, God-fearing people of the USA that invented the following:
sewing machine, telegraph, telephone, light bulb, AC, electric power grid, automobile, airplane, radio, television,transistor, integrated circuit, personal computer, microsoft, windows, internet, google, facebook, twitter, ipad, iphone, first man to land on the moon, curioisity landing in mars, voyager 1 and 2 break through the boundaries of the solar system etc... ?
All communist china can do is copying and imitating original ideas of the USA and stealing technology and shamelessly claiming that they are the best in the world.
If the chinese communist are really the best as they delusionally think they are, then how can they explain these facts of reality:
1.Why is it that hundreds of thousands of chinese students are lining up every year to come study in the USA (note that not all of these chinese students come to spy on the US)? Is it because the USA has the best educational system in the world ?
2. Why is it that all the people around the world, including chinese, want to immigrate to the USA? Why is it that among all the people in the world, no one in their right minds want to immigrate to red china?
3. Why is it that even the sons, daughters and relatives of the past and present chinese communist party leaders come to the USA to study and some of them even became US citizens?
To the chinese communist spies who are living here in the USA and enjoying the benefits and freedoms here in the USA and yet without shame, are against the USA, Why are you here in the USA? Why don’t you go back to china?
I can honestly say when I hear church people saying that helping the poor is 'wealth redistribution', there is a serious problem folks. I live in the Bible belt, and I have heard that comment from within several churches here. The problem is the religious right has let fox news convince them that treating the sick, helping the poor, predatory lending..all these things that are clearly defined in the Bible is 'socialism'. What's even sadder, is there are many like me who do believe, but just can't go along with the current conservative movement because they have become hijacked by corporate America. If we quit giving handouts to big business and rewarding them for cutting wages/employment and took the profit out of healthcare, it would fix so many things in this country.
How can anybody you disagree with ever be right when you can just twist what they're saying into something vile? Not wanting the government to take an indefinite amount of money from people with no plan to control out of control spending does not mean that we want people to die in the streets, or that we don't want to give money, time, and resources to those that need it more than we do.
Yeah because christianity is the true religion, god waited thousands of years for it to get made up. Sounds about right.
Religious people normally are lazy to think people. They do not think deep, far, and sotisphicated enough. They are the believer but not factual people. They are not brave enough to deal with non existence of god.
America is going down because of clowns like you. Your so called God who used to play cheap tricks like illusions of changing water to wine is not relevant today....
Your pope is using twitter when he believes science is bad ... how stupid could religious people get ...
Religious Puke.
I vomit on my computer screen.
Isn't there some way to eliminate all Christians who puke up vomit everytime they open their mouths?
Smells like Christian diaherria in this blog.
Now, can we return to the real story, which was about politics? You should go hang on a cross for a few days and let the birds pick your eyes out. Then come back here and start talking about Allah again.
Min Xin Pei is a Han traitor. He serves his American masters and barks as commanded. He chooses to side with the Americans rather than advise the Chinese side.
HAha I'm not Chinese, but what you said is true.
How does this guy sleep at night?
the promotion of democracy is in america's interest. The resulting division and chaos from the breakdown in the state apparatus like in the Soviet Union, would ensure that corporations can buy up chinese assets on the cheap. We have seen this before in the Phillipines, in Thailand in the Asian financial crisis and in Russia and many African states. They succeeded in Iraq but failed in Iran, with the US puppet the Shah of Iran toppled by the iranian people's revolution (the current regime).
The last time the Americans tried to encourage people to rise up against their colonial masters in the phillipines in the name of liberty and freedom, the US subsequently ordered the massacre of up to 1 million filipino combatants in 1902 US-Spanish War, subsequently colonising the Phillipines till the 1950s. Even today, the Phillipines remains a de facto colony of the US.
Lee, you are either hallucinating or still dreaming. Your claims about the Philippines are all NOT true! Your arguments are purely "communist theories". C'mon Dude, you are out of touch with reality ! Go back to China and tell your Government to stop manipulating your own currency, stealing US technology and bullying other Asian Nations !
The best and simplest strategy that the USA should employ today in South East Asia is this:
ARM THE FILIPINOS !.
The Filipinos are the most steadfast, loyal ally of the USA in Asia , from 1903(end of the Fil-Am war), through World War 1, World War 2, Korean War, Vietnam War, up to the present.
Instead of pouring billions of dollars to Pakistan and Afghanistan (these have dubious loyalties to America), USA should pour those billions of dollars of military aid instead to the Philippines.
The Filipinos are not afraid of the chinese communists.
During the Korean War, a single battalion combat team of the Philippine Army decimated an entire chinese communist division in the battle of Yultong,
Properly armed and expertly led, Filipinos are some of the best fighters in the world. Filipino warriors are never outfought. Even General Douglas MacArthur was impressed by their bravery.
The chinese communists will never win a war against a fully- armed Filipino warrior force.
The Philippines can defeat the chinese communists in the West Philippine Sea.
To successfully defend the West Philippine Sea against chinese communist invaders, the Philippines can employ an Area-Denial, Anti- Access strategy.
First, while letting the chinese communists think that it is defenceless, the Philippines quietly arms itself, making sure that all preparations are unknown and unseen by communist spies.
Then:
Phase I.
a) Convert all large islands of the Philippines into unsinkable aircraft and missile carriers.
b) Cover the entire Philippine territorial air,land and sea with sufficient number of surface-to-air missile batteries and air-superiority fighter aircraft (at least 15 squadrons).
Phase II
a) Deploy mines on the approach routes of chinese communist ships.
b) employ accurate,long range, surface-surface cruise missiles from secure batteries along the coasts of Palawan, Luzon and the nearby islands , to knock out the chinese communist ships.
c) follow-up with drones to overwhelm and finish off any remaining chinese communist resistance.
d) employ sufficient number of submarines (at least 9 squadrons) to interdict any naval reinforcements from communist china.
Phase III.
Unleash sufficient number of naval strike aircraft ( at least 9 squadrons) to destroy any remaining communist vessels and prevent their escape back to communist china.
Phase IV
Unleash the newly refurbished Philippine Navy surface fleet to clear and sweep the entire West Philippine Sea of any remaining chinese communist invaders.
Don't forget, the new Chinese leader Xi Jinping might be a breath of fresh air in terms of style, but not in substance. He had spoken about reform, but any such ambition, which is out of step with political development and party ideology will not be viable.
Is Mr. Obama of any substance?
The Chinese focus on nation building educating her millions to be more civilize (文明) , be a better citizens. Only then, people will have the wisdom and the right to choose a good leader. For now, the system works quite nicely, no drastic change needed.
chinese communists have stolen:
1. sovereign rule from the chinese people
2. territories from sovereign nations in West Philippine Sea, Ryukyus, Tibet and East Turkestan.
3. money by currency manipulation and swindling of foreign companies investing in china.
4. technology from the west and the US.
Yet,even the chinese communist leaders and their sons and daughters want to immigrate to the USA.
Mr. Obama is the byproduct of American free election and is a president choose by people with warp values like Kadashian value. No wonder the worlds are increasing loosing respect with the Americans.
Nonsense article by a professor that read too many books .
One does not antegonize one's banker and should show him respect. The Chinese can drop $3 T and make the US sweat. Encircling China with imperial ambitions while borrowing money from them at the same time is just a fact and sheer stupidity.The huge debt that the US owes ,for your information, will never be paid. We do not have a democracy or free press -the sooner you realize that the better you willl be able to understand what is going on. The author needs to realize that human rights have little meaning in the US when one has the Patriot Act. Will someone explain this to the professor .
please stop this china owns the U.S. nonsense! The majority of the debt is owned by the American people through bonds and treasuries and not some foreign country! Yes china does own the most debt of any FOREIGN country but not enough to make us act submissive towards them.
LOL. China just launched their first aircraft carrier. We often forget...might makes right. No, I won't pay you. What? OK, come try and take it.
Only joking, a little, but don't forget violence.

The chinese communist government is illegitimate and does not represent the true will of the chinese people. The chinese communist government just usurps the authority by coercion and brutal repression of the chinese people.
the people of red china are dictated upon and enslaved by the illegitimate rule of the chinese communists who usurped and stole power and authority without the consent of the chinese people.
communist china will collapse soon despite its pretenses and haughty but empty posturing.
chinese communists like to self glorify themselves as the best but in reality they are nothing nor even deserve to be respected.
Even if the chinese communist attempt to disguise themselves as capitalist, their obvious agenda of global domination in which they plan to enslave the whole world like they enslave more than 1 billion chinese people at present, must be stopped.
chinese communists are shamelessly dishonest and morally bankrupt. chinese communist will never succeed in their goal of global domination because their lies and falsehoods can easily be defeated by the Truth.
Another leftist writer kissing the back end of our president. Thanks CNN.
Minxin Pei – you really think that you are qualified (i.e. know China well enough) to give this kind of advice or do you think Obama needs your advice? What a joke? How to handle China? Just leave China alone and mind your own business.
The only thing that he is qualified is zucking his uncle's limply kwok.

So who's paying you, copy & paste troll? No original thought, just repeating a mantra from the western media.
The reason I emigrated from China to the United States, That is because, when I was in China, I found that the people around me are so smart, I think I'm so stupid in China. But when I came to the United States, the people around me think that I'm so smart and I do feel I 'm smart. Live here is so easy. I can be lazy , enjoy drug. doesn't matter ! government give money! I can take gun! I don't like somebody, shoot them ! kids , adult , whatever! oh ..... be American is great ! Freedom! much better than conmmunist party!
The author assumes Obama even has a policy. Sorry, the man is too stupid to have a policy on anything.
he has one policy, reduce America, and he is doing an admirable job!!
I have an issue with Mr. Pei's article, but unlike other contributors, I will express it respectfully. Even a summary of US-China relations is woefully incomplete without a discussion of North Korea. Without China's support, the DPRK and the Kim dynasty would collapse very quickly. The other issues are trivial compared to the Korean source of tension and instability. How do you propose to get China's leadership to stop subsidizing Kim, and start taking some responsibility for his behavior?
The author is an opportunist. Showing respect is never counter-productive except when dealing with the like of us Americans. Showing respect is NOT appeasement. Basically, when anyone claims it is counterproductive to show respect she is projecting her own racist biases onto someone else and accusing them of acting arrogant when the true arrogant one is themselves. Moreover, to expect instantaneous results is ludicrous and shows disingenuous respect to begin with.
mideast people want usa to dolve their problems for free. heck, some of them even want us to give them billions just for our pleasure to solve their problems. now many in far east want us to do the same. hello, you gotta pay us for the help. we don't have bottomless tresuries any more.
The word REGIME usually implies a negative connotation: dictatorship. Apparently, Mr. Pei was trying to overlook the Chinses government at a moral highland as a professor in US.
Showing ignorance is not a
The fact that this kwok zucking kwok zucker used the word "Regime" to describe the Chinese government, it shows that he makes a living on badmouthing China.
Mr. Pei did not realize that the competions between China and the US are strategic, so promoting democracy is not going to change that, just like Russia and the US, even though Russia is no longer a communist country. I think the best way to handle these is to have mutual respect, try to work together to achieve a win-win solution. If you force yourself to have severe conflict with another big power, NO one will win. In today's world, people want to live in a peaceful life, enjoy good family life, can you imagine that in order for one side to have good life, you can kill many people on the other side? or make them suffer to support your good life? Those who support containment of China need to think whether you want to put yopurself, or send your children or grandchildren to the harms way. Why we need to do that?
Let's fix our own problem, including fiscal cliff, and unemployment issue before try to strategically fight with other powers. Both American and the Chinese desreve good and peaceful life.
After more than 200 years, America still cannot figure out the ties between money and politics (those super PACs). Anything really happened to those bankers who were behind the 2008 Wall Street meltdown? Now the NRA is terrifying those politicians in the name of democracy and freedom. How and why do we expect others to be democratized like flipping a burger?!
We are the communist.... Compare the Russion income tax rate of 13% vs. US tax rates of 50%
Add the property taxes, service fees then tell me that Russia has less economic freedom?
This is not what my fore-fathers fought for?
We support 47% who are living the government class lifestyles....
America cannot even "handle" small countries like Iraq and Afghanistan. The choice of word reflects Pei's arrogance, and perhaps ignorance of both China (because he has left China for many decades) and America's own history. It is reminiscent of the question asked in 1950 by Senator Joseph McCarthy, "who lost China?" as if America owned China! Obama should pay more attention to those senseless killings at home by guns, drugs, etc. Every year, the number of Americans killed simply because they were at the wrong place and at the wrong time by guns and violent crimes is at least three times more than those who were killed in 9/11. Is this the system that Pei wants to export to China and the rest of the world? Freedom without responsibility is just a step from anarchy. Leave China for the Chinese, just like Obama has left Iraq to the Iraqis and he is soon to leave Afghanistan to the Afghans.
Who lost China , Ben ? Roosevelt with Communist advisors in our government who supplied Mao with armanents while depriving Chang Kai Shek of the same. It was done for the Communism to flourish in China.Joe MacCarthy was right about the Communist influence on tthe White House and was wrongly demonized. Did you ever wonder why James Forrestal was murdered ?
You shouldn't blur America's true military might with what it chooses to use against 2 bit broken middle eastern crumbs. For these conflicts, America shows tremendous restraint in an effort to win hearts and minds of the host country's citizens, but also America's citizens at home.
Against a developed world class military, you would see a very different American military operation.
No army (or navy or air force) in the world can defeat the US in a conventional (or even nuclear) war. Case in point is when the US invaded Iraq in 2003, the US captured Bagdad in less than three months.
chinese communists have no capability to achieve that.
The war in Afghanistan is a counterinsurgency (guerrila) type of war where insurgents hide among the civilians and is therefore of a different type from conventional war.
chinese communist have no capability of even getting to Afghanistan, much less winning against the afghan insurgents.
As to the Korean war, if Gen MacArthur was not prevented by Truman to cross the Yalu, destroy the communist bases there and let Gen Chiang Kai Shek to attack from Taiwan, there will be no communist chinese threat today. Even then, communist china lost 800,000 to 1 Milion chinese communist soldiers dead and the North Korean communist army was destroyed and practically ceased to exist as an organized unit.
chinese communists like to self glorify themselves as the best but in reality they are nothing nor even deserve to be respected.
Even if the chinese communist attempt to disguise themselves as capitalist, their obvious agenda of global domination in which they plan to enslave the whole world like they enslave more than 1 billion chinese people at present, must be stopped.
chinese communists are shamelessly dishonest and morally bankrupt. chinese communist will never succeed in their goal of global domination because their lies and falsehoods can easily be defeated by the Truth.
From the start of this memo , the editor was trying to make the point to the country or the President ..be tough on China and then what make enemy ??
It does NOT works to the Chinese nor to the rest of the world leaders . Be a friend and make lots of needed improvement here in United States . The world would respect us more and that is what we called the world leadership.
The editor knows the wrong thing and hinting the wrong advice to our country here in USA that is my humble opinion .
The USA should stop admitting chinese immigrating from red china.

call me already so we can meet face to face
In 1970 when I was 9yrs old, I sent a letter to President Nixon. He responded by sending a letter to me. At least he had some balls.
Obama could not even point to China on a map, unless the names were written in.
Obama has a half brother living in southern China and is apparently quite happy (married Chinese woman)!
I'm going to call you guys monday. It truly is OK and you can trust me and I will consistantly follow your directives. I can be a great asset to you. (don't post this). Test to you
Minxin Pei, a clown who knows little about foreign affair, rated below par against Hillary Clinton.
The deal to deal with China should be the same as they give towards N. Korea . over 60 years of no co-operation .Ha
you don't win anything for human rights by softening your security stance. if we're serious about advancing human rights as well dignity and equality of all nations in Far East region, we need to HARDEN our security stance vs Chinese Communist regime, for the time being. The Beijing regime is itself, for all its outward toughness and strength, on a brink of a major crisis if not a fall; journalists protest censorship, scientists demand democratic reform, various social, ethnic and religious groups demand their own rights respected, yet actually Xi is more of a conservative than Hu was–so internal crisis is coming up in China, and it's a good time to call their bluff and pressure more, especially while their economy also cool off. alas, Obama's probably gonna listen to people like the author of this piece
You also neglected one very critical issue that US will have to face up to China, that is the future of Taiwan. Mr. Obama avoided major obligation of supplying advanced fighter jets to Taiwan in his first term to show his good faith and gained nothing in return. It is time to cross over that bridge and enforce TRA to its fullness to help Taiwan to protect her people from Chinese aggression.
How to handle China ? or headline should be How to handle USA ?
China is the dragon of the World.
The Chinese have proven again and again, that it is not in their culture to be "grateful". They take, and take and ...
The Chinese have worked hard for their current achievements. Almost every child in China studies his/her homework till midnight. And their parents would always ask how they'd miss one point out of 100 point in exams. Almost every parent would make sure that his/her child won't be left behind. In the US, that is the job for a president (Bush). Every year, China graduates 600,000 college graduates of engineer degree, which is 10 times more than the US figure. In many cities, foreign language (mostly English) is taught from preschools. America needs to work much harder than today. Don't blame others for its own problems.

chinese communists have no morals and no shame and are nothing but thieves with big egos. Their obvious goal of global domination will never succeed and surely fail because of their shameless dishonesty and because they are morally bankrupt with absolutely zero integrity and honor.
the chinese communists should ask themselves honestly why despite their claim to have a 5000 year history, they cannot deny the truth that:
it was the free, God-fearing people of the USA that invented the following:
sewing machine, telegraph, telephone, light bulb, AC, electric power grid, automobile, airplane, radio, television,transistor, integrated circuit, personal computer, microsoft, windows, internet, google, facebook, twitter, ipad, iphone, first man to land on the moon, curioisity landing in mars, voyager 1 and 2 break through the boundaries of the solar system etc... ?
All communist china can do is copying and imitating original ideas of the USA and stealing technology and shamelessly claiming that they are the best in the world.
If the chinese communist are really the best as they delusionally think they are, then how can they explain these facts of reality:
1.Why is it that hundreds of thousands of chinese students are lining up every year to come study in the USA (note that not all of these chinese students come to spy on the US)? Is it because the USA has the best educational system in the world ?
2. Why is it that all the people around the world, including chinese, want to immigrate to the USA? Why is it that among all the people in the world, no one in their right minds want to immigrate to red china?
3. Why is it that even the sons, daughters and relatives of the past and present chinese communist party leaders come to the USA to study and some of them even became US citizens?
To the chinese communist spies who are living here in the USA and enjoying the benefits and freedoms here in the USA and yet without shame, are against the USA, Why are you here in the USA? Why don’t you go back to china?
Ted, I totally in agreement with you and so is Mr.Mao Tse Dong, founder of Communist China. Mr. Mao is the one who created and started China Culture Revolution, demanding Chinese public to self-criticize and be better people.
Maybe We all need to learn a things or two from Mr. Mao?
China is the next and the only hope left for this world. The existing paradigm has failed. Poverty, schisms, conflicts, democratic demise is prevalent and the world is a divided place. We need change. Change from status quo. Change from the UN system. Change from current superpower imbalance and ineffectiveness. In this context, everything else becomes redundant and irrelevant. Whether China is masculine or feminine or whose daughter is in Harvard or Penn State etc. is of minimal importance. What is of importance is the fact that China has come a long way in the past 15 years. The system works: the economic model is proven, the political system clicks, social structure is progressive though not perfect. Let us give them a chance and see what they can do for us. Let us celebrate their arrival and give them kudos for what they have achieved so far. Most importantly, let’s hope and pray they continue to bless us with their vision and passion. In God We Trust.
My name is Mao-Tse-Tung and I approved this message.
You sound like pedo Sandusky !
China is an ungrateful country. They have prospered because of US companies and today they steal US intellectual property and force US companies to part with their technology. They will then threaten the US. Never trust the Chinese.
Chris , How could China become ungrateful can you explain.
You are absolutely correct. The only problem is that our politicians and corporate leaders fail to comprehend this simple truth. Unfortunately, our children are going to pay a very heavy price for our greed, shortsightedness and folly.
I don't care what you think. But what you are spreading here matters. A country's name represents for the land and the people who live on that land. How the hell a country can be ungrateful? By "Never trust the Chinese", do you mean 1.3 billion Chinese people? use your small head think before talking.
The government of China has been at war with the United States since at least 1950. They are now using economic warfare instead of military action. In this they are emulating Reagan who used economic war to destroy the USSR. It nearly destroyed the US too, pf course.
30 years ago it was the J pen ne se, now is the Chinese. Who is next?
Maybe fat Uncle McDonald is next?
It is Wall Street that destroyed America, and much of the rest of the world ($11 trillion in 2008). And it has largely got away from any serious legal responsibilities. China is actually sustaining America's consumption, living standard, and war efforts by purchasing $1 trillion of T-bills.
Big brother once again swings into action. My question is who is gonna handle england on the folkland island dispute. Is this selective justice? Why is no one really telling their story. A got an idea for you when writing the next memo to president Obama. How about how to handle the economy cos God knows that's one thing that needs handling.
On the intellectual theft subject matter, welcome to the future of capitalism. Wasn't that the aim? to bring something to the table or else have an empty dinner plate? Well guess what, china is putting all its options to the table. I know China is fighting dirty but America has never fought clean as well. China has figured that if it gives the world the same technology that the US offers at a cheaper rate ,they will be patronized . Didn't it work? Careful what you wish for.
The WTO is falling apart. We will get our tariffs back. So sorry, China.
How to handle China? I think Obama already knows how to bow.
China will be a problem, a big problem.The whole world must get really serious about the china problem. It is not because that this country would take over any country and become the No 1 power in the world. It is because a flood of over one billion refugees (both economic and political) would simply overwhelm the planet earth. With a totally corrupted government, almost completely polluted environment (land, air and water), and a demoralized population, how long can still the Chinese empire hold?? Better get ready, the rest of the world!
Go to Mars!
Not sure why CNN is hiring a chink to write about how to deal with China. The only stance US should take is to overthrow Chinese Communist Party and to help 1.3 billion Chinese to regain their long lost freedom.
FREE THE US FROM IT'S CORPORATE MASTERS FIRST!
interesting opinion piece.. however dooofus would never take advice from anyone.....
How to handle China? BEG Jon Huntsman Jr. to return to the job of Ambassador.
Huntsman is done with his assignment. He is actually more welcomed by the Chinese than the current US ambassador, who is a Chinese American.
"So as long as Mr. Xi seems to be taking China in a more open direction, it does not hurt to relax the security pressure on China a bit."
This is a bad way to handle a more aggressive china, i suspect this sentence is his only motive and that will get the east asia in trouble in a big hurry. To contain china eventually to eradicate Commie from the face of the world is still an unfinished task of US. Don't ever pretend that you don't know this my dear author.
We have to be nice to the person who holds our mortgages! They may call in their loan at any time....
Or, they might not buy some of our newly minted Trillion $ tokens.
Want to buy a Trillion $ token anyone? Step right up, over here.....
The USA should stop admitting chinese immigrating from red china.
communist chinese like to pretend that they are the best in the world.

taxpayer:
80% of China's money reserves are held in US treasuries. They can't afford to crash our currency. 80% of our own reserves are held in gold. What does that tell you?
Just by Xi's mouth serving, the author suggests some security relaxing. He is serving china a favor so obvious and so cheap. Don't you think?
Lol. Kardashian values. That's one punchline too many. I don't necessarily share the same view but I got to hand it to you. I saw kim @ the white house correspondence last year and I was like "what is America turning into" smh
I love and respect Americans, but it is becoming more and more difficult.
My biggest worry is not Chinese but American youths in general, they are loosing the abilities or desire to be a better people group.
What is the future for Americans? Take a trip to China or Korea, the youths there will enlighten us all.
The youths in China or Korea are slaves to their government. It is not the best way to be.
You got to be kidding me.
Obama's priority is: How to handle the republicans?
The close second is probably "how to handle the Wall street"?
How to handle China is about 100 items below "how to handle the immigrants"
Yes, handling our Banks and Wall Street is much more important to the future of America. These are very greedy and corrupt organizations.
But our President no longer has to worry about Republicans – you won't see that party win again in the next 20-30 years. Republicans will not finish 2nd in the next election – they will finish 3rd, behind Democrats and Independents.
Sorry, but between Palin, McCain and the Tea Party, the GOP is no longer. (Oh did I forget Boehner? Who?)
How to handle China? My best advice is handle with care and respect. Please do not try to outsmart today Chinese or anyone for that matter. Why? Just look at your own universities top students and need go no further.

Well said. Not a popular view, but it's the truth.
China will one day destroy us unless we crush them now. Terrorism is just a distraction from the real threat... China.
chinese communists have stolen:
1. sovereign rule from the chinese people
2. territories from sovereign nations in West Philippine Sea, Ryukyus, Tibet and East Turkestan.
3. money by currency manipulation and swindling of foreign companies investing in china.
4. technology from the west and the US.
Yet,even the chinese communist leaders and their sons and daughters want to immigrate to the USA.
The chinese communist government is illegitimate and does not represent the true will of the chinese people. The chinese communist government just usurps the authority by coercion and brutal repression of the chinese people.
the people of red china are dictated upon and enslaved by the illegitimate rule of the chinese communists who usurped and stole power and authority without the consent of the chinese people.
communist china will collapse soon despite its pretenses and haughty but empty posturing.
chinese communists like to self glorify themselves as the best but in reality they are nothing nor even deserve to be respected.
Even if the chinese communist attempt to disguise themselves as capitalist, their obvious agenda of global domination in which they plan to enslave the whole world like they enslave more than 1 billion chinese people at present, must be stopped.
chinese communists are shamelessly dishonest and morally bankrupt. chinese communist will never succeed in their goal of global domination because their lies and falsehoods can easily be defeated by the Truth.
You're delusional buddy! the US =/= Truth for anyone, instead of focusing on the Chinese government, which by the way aren't your problems to solve in the first place, it will be solved by the Chinese people. What about all the lies that your white house and pentagon told, fake WMDs, fiscal cliff, the industrial war complex..... there's too many for me to list. Solve these problems then starting solving other people's problems, which by the way is also another one of American government's problems, always interfering and making other people's problem's worse!
Dear Really:
Don't worry, with the WTO and EU falling apart, the United States will soon get its tariffs back, and we will no longer care about Chinese people dying of communism. It won't affect us anymore.
Very Carefully.....because if you drop a piece on a hard surface like a tiled kitchen floor it will shatter into tiny fragments...unless of course you really can't stand the thing and drop it on purpose in order to shatter it and remove it from your cupboard so it no longer annoys and offends you.
Another pseudo Chinese expert spills out rubbish. United States basically do not comprehend Chinese history, culture and patience. It is in our national interest to have good relation with China. Anyone who fails to see this is ignorant and blind.
Boy wonderless can't even handle his own diapers...
Memo to media: The only organization with less credibility than the current U.S. administration is the current U.S. media. Stick to kissing Anderson's junk.
You handle them line an enemy that uses their state to violate international laws and destroy free markets and Democracy.

Keep your eye on Waukesha,Wisconsin ......Their biggest employer just moved out.
General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray
division from Waukesha , Wis., to Beijing .
In addition to moving the headquarters,the company will invest $2
billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers.
This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes -the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States .
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman
Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is
supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in which
country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.
Thanks Jeff, you're a "real" American....give Barrack our Best!
If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does. Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product.
Dean, we have this system here in America we call 'capitalism'.
It means that when companies want to relocate to improve their profitability, we don't them.
Perhaps you are confusing American systems with another system called 'communism', where the government would do what you are asking – prevent capitalism.
So ... it's ok that you prefer communism to capitalism, but President Obama prefers capitalism and freedom.
So I guess those Washukan's will have to learn a new skill.
Sly:
The American School of Economics requires tariffs. Look it up.
Dean:
You seem to be forgetting that all the Republicans for the last few decades have been doing the same thing. We need to demand tariffs, period. Doesn't matter whether you're demanding the tariffs from a Republican or a Democrat.
Maybe he is tired off supporting the government class!
Wish i could get to keep more of my paycheck..... Tired of supporting 47% of the people (Government Class), and only being allowed to keep 30% of my paycheck for my family!
The people of China are friends and partners in this global economy. And should be pressured to rise to the American principle. The first a fundamental global right for all of humanity, the American dream.
So simple, so plain, eloquent and beautiful. Right before our eyes, the whole time. The first amendment, the foundation of the American idea. Our principle, we shall forever, through honest and fair diplomatic, and only diplomatic spread the world. Protectors of the first amendment right granted to the people's of all cultures around the world. Behold, the American dream.
We have to ask for American interest first, it is illegal to send us Mexican terrorist trained, and supported technologically and economically by India and China. We have to ask to stop American countries be satellites of China and India like Mexico.
Author is wrong here on several fronts.
1) First of all why should America try to promote democracy in China ? Let Chinese people decide what type of government they want. The western style democracy is not a solution to all the problems. Large and complex countries with thousands of years of histrory have problem in adopting to western style democracy. It is not clear if democratic China is in best interest of America. It is certainly not in the best interest of U.S corporations who rely on Cheap labor and relaxed environmental standards in Chinese factories.
2) The problem in South China sea is caused by assertive China. The Chinese don't want U.S to intervene in their territory. So how can U.S govt. intervention solve the dispute ? This is a very sensitive issue for Chinese so how can Obama correct it by doing more intervention ?
3) The main problem in U.S/China relations is not addressed here at all. For China the goals of their foreign policy are very clear. However for U.S there is no clear consensus on foreign policy goals towards China. So far the U.S foreign policy is being defined in terms of what U.S corporations want or consider best in the short term without taking in to consideration the long term effects on the country. U.S population in general does not understand the complexities of the situation and still refuses to pay attention to real problems. Obama administration has not shown any clear thinking about its China policy except for same old issues like currency manipulation or trade deficit etc. It is high time for administration to define a policy that is based on both short term and long term benefit of the country.
Well said, you're one of the few rational people here who is not blinded by ignorance and hatred.
Chandra:
Unlike your Chinese dictator, our American President must in some way bend to the will of the people. That's what you see as "not clear thinking", and that's what makes it better here.
@Memo,
I am American. I am NOT chinese. You are completely wrong about your comment. American president needs to listen to wishes of American people but that is not happening. American presidents are only paying attention to the wishes of few welthy donors/lobbyists that represents the wishes of few corporations.
Chandra:
You are not fooling me with your grammar. The US people are only now beginning to meaningfully stand up to the corporatism that has run unchecked for the past 30 years. Unlike you Chinese people, we actually can.

We are in "winning" position, China got from us our industries, technology and jobs and we are importing millions of their citizens, isn't that for both countries, an intelligent and optimistic equation?
What the what? How to handle China? China is not his country and he is his own country's worst enemy.
This article makes absolutely no sense.
@ RabbiVO, Your comment is a joke. Look at Phillippines?
Encourage America to be more self-sufficient. It's a matter of survival. You do not want to be digging trenches for the Chinese. They will only give you one bowl of rice per day, correction, one bowl of rice every other day. They save money that way. Stop letting so many Chinese into our country. They just take.
Actually a far superior solution to America's economic problem would be to eliminate white people.
Guess who the worlds leading consumers are? American white people. Eat eat eat. Consume Consume Consume.
Jeff, you would look a lot better back in your German homeland with your fellow Nazi's.
Sly:
The free market is a good determinant as to "how much one deserves to eat". Tyrannical tyrants are not.
The President has to realize that he can not blame Congress for not raising the debt ceiling. we are a deadbeat nation if we rack up more bill than we can afford to pay. Just like anyother person who does the same thing.
We must run the nation like every responsible citizen ...within our means!
Destroy Communists in China first.
American youth is really disappointing.
I am from China. I love my country but I hate the communist goverment. China will never become a great country if there's no democracy and freedom, which is also the most important we should learn from other countries.
Does not matter black or white, as long as it catches mice. Does not matter American democracy or Chinese/Singaporean democracy, as long as majority of the people are happy.
Notes: 1. China is no more a communist country. 2. More than 70% of Chinese citizens approve the present government, which is much higher in percentage than American approve Democrat party.
China is no more a communist country or a dictatorship.
America can not be defeated unless SOLD MUSLIMS stop giving cheap oil reserves instead of their poor peoples and RETARDED INDIA stops giving cheap labour force to US. Long Live USA
Wow, we live in the most murderous country on earth, and we are the most aggressive nation on earth, and folks are criticizing China?
Most bloggers here are not intelligent enough to know that China has spent the last 50,000 years taking care of their own business, and leaving other nations alone.
Who the hell gives Americans the high road that 'democracy' is better than 'communism'? That's like a Red Sox fan telling the Yankee fans "Red Sox rule".
And watching bloggers cry in their panties on here because we owe money to China? Uh ... gee ... wonder how that happened? Did the Chinese secretly invade us one night and infiltrate all our bank buildings and get on the computers and wire US money to CHinese accounts?
Dear Sly:
The results of communism (and its consequent tyranny) have been far worse than the results of capitalism, which is always attended by democracy.
When I first saw the image to this article, I thought the speaker was the bottom of Obama's foot.
Why did all these comments focus on religion when it wasn't in the article? This is a very good article, and I hope the President and his administration read it. Do they read opinions from other people I wonder, or do they think no one else in the world can think and speak and reason? I hope we do reach a status of mutual respect and some sort of common ground with trading and political ties. Thats the second time i've heard of China's worries of political encirclement. Are the bigwigs paying attention or going blindly sailing forward, la di dah. Perhaps the administration needs to go visit gramma for a few days.
Empowering subjugated minorities in India by splitting it into smaller states would trigger uber economic demand for western nations who have given so much financial and technology aid to India with no return to show for the investment. We here in Haiti continue to monitor the political and cultural turmoil in India as a large percentage of our population are sugar cane slaves from India. As of now, we reiterate our view that Hindu State of India is in a precarious situation and that a geo-political implosion is imminent (if not already in process) and the need of the hour. As you will recall, India was initially broken into pieces by Arabs, Afghanis, Persians, Pakistanis, and lately by Chinese and so on. And rest assured that is not the end. India is mired in poverty and has a suppressive regime with respect to minorities. Substantial aid by the world over the years to India has failed to reverse the downward trends. We can now confirm that India has become unmanageable. If it is not imploded in a controlled manner we are afraid China will chew it up and spit it out.
