Why won"t Washington say Chinese?

World makes the scholar deep sense of China perplexed for the prejudice with Chinese quick "prominent emergence" of a economic superpower. But I think that this is not the "prominent emergence" of China , says definitely that should be the Chinese rejuvenation of the historical position of possessing global influence.

The rejuvenation of today is the 3th "collision" of Chinese and western country, former two differences appear in 16 century and 19 century. Now, the effect of colliding arising will far exceed and the economic competition of America. Along with Chinese economic strong increase, nobody can prevent China to develop its influence further, this kind of influence can expand politics, values and ideology field. May also only occur conflict in these fields, between China and the United States, what is regretful is that the misunderstanding in these fields of two countries is very deep.

Two years are former , carry out research in Congress library, I the most of discovery Washington China policy analysis home the politics concentrated attention on still in the West tells to beg go up, as Chinese democratization problem as well as when how Asia realizes the out of date safe problems such as strength balance. When seeing these viewpoints, I feel that am laughable , and feel shocked. I often see in library to study paper and the books of this region general affairs , its title not make an overstatement is sensational. These is this to claim to be for the prejudice of absolute superpower. The arrogant mood of the Bush administration is very obvious, this kind of arrogant and conceited is very universal among the Clinton government elite of foreign policy of period. Only American national Committee on Information still has a silk, is sober, Washington has seems regarded as self ancient Roman empire, believe that can be in charge of world general affairs only rely on self, it is not important to have friend.

What is regretful is that when being concerned with China, the most wisdom storehouses of Washington will not carry out rational thought. The analyst trend of America foreign policy and the domestic politics of Chinese separate consideration, difference is evaluated for it. Many persons think that the behavior change of Chinese leading layer is not to stem from domestic realistic needs merely, to respond outside pressure. Perhaps this is why the reason of numerous Washington wisdom storehouse that research people do not understand Chinese , because this does not influence them to write many and Chinese related reports, papers and strategies. Have only the editor such as" banner weekly" Wei honest, Kerry Si-Tuo-Er and Pentagon adviser step Kerr, white Bang Rui these new conservatives, seems, still understand the importance of a country that external behavior and its domestic contact between politics. However they for China whether complete understanding is other matter.

Actually, Chinese leader has no always , separate domestic political and international politics. In 1972 when Mao Zedong meets with nun Ke-Song and Kissinger, nun g pine has said that sentence is rare and some to flatter: " you have changed world. " is natural, nun g pine says that this sentence words denote the world of the two poles of period of cold war. But the reply of Mao Zedong has expressed a different viewpoint: " I no change world, have changed Beijing city center and suburb only. " he says this words to express that he pays attention to domestic politics very much.

No matter Chinese President Hu Jintao this week with America the president Bush meeting, the viewpoint of how they put forward grandness for international situation goes on intercourse, point is affirmed , that is Hu Jintao wakes up every day in the morning, foreign policy is not the primary problem that he considers. Is it satisfactory that peasant decides to do not solicit agricultural tax recently for government? Can RMB appreciation bring what influence? These problems will always dominant his daily life.

For lacking mutual understanding in Sino-U.S. two countries, the policy elites of Washington will nearly undertake all responsibilities. However, when China establishes new foreign policy, deciphers because of having to be not enough to understand to world explanation and also cause the confusion of international community for Chinese policy
