The US and China diplomatic relation had come a long way ,and a turn point took place since Obama came to power,although it srill faces the 21st centuary comtemporarian challenges that required a more fresh thinking and approach by both powers.The US and China in order accomplish and to combate these challenges decided to find a common ground ,in which both powers intend to compromise.As two great ecomomic powers they decided to launch a historic effort to tranform both US and Chinese economy by investing in renewable technology and energy efficiency .And subsequently these initiatives defenitly were a starting-point that contributed for the bottom-up economic growth that benefits the strengthning of US-China relations.And by recognizing both countries common interests they have realised that they can achieve so much more,like the US and China cooperation in the Six Party talks on the North Korean nuclear isssue over the past few years,which makes clear that both powers can work constructively together and bilaterally with other states, too,in order to minimize tensions regarding sensitive issues.
But more recently ,the climate change issue is still perceived as a trully common challenge and a long term solution that has been addressed during the Copenhagen Climate Summit, that took place ,that took place in December 2009.The US alongside China and ohter major developing countries join forces in order to curb global greenhouse gas emissions, since previously, the Kyoto Protocol did not achieve the same effect as the Copenhagen Climate Summit.
Both the US and China realised that they have heavy, if different , responsabilities to meet this vital challenge.The Climate Change challenge demanded a much higher levels of cooperation without delay ,which led automatically to a new global aggreement ,that took his first step , during the Copenhagen Summit.Talks among China , the US and other major powers ,regarding the climate change issue sat within a framework were the new agreements and negotiations were bigger and more sophisticated to avoid climate impacts ,already projected by Climate Change Institutions.
Cooperation enduring global challenges ,such as the climate change is a product of the more developed and mature between both powers over the past years.But broadly in the modern world non-traditional security threats triggered that an increase in the quantity, but also quality of US/China engagements became an habit, in a wider range of global challenges.
greater porogress still takes place,in a world where inevitable challenges always emerge the US-China relationships will seek to produce major benefits from both parts ,but al;so by accepting their responsabilities to persue urgently needed solutions to problems like , climate change ,global economy and arms proliferation.

I agree with you china/US relations will continue to grow due to their economic ties and dependency. more multilateral diplomacy is required however.
ReplyDeleteI do agreeand acknowledge that China and the US have taken a bold step. However i feel these two coutries still have along way to go. Economically they are relying on each other, China exports 1/10th of their products to America and have loads of bonds in the American market. Also China has a high revenue. This means as much as the US despise China they have to work together or if the economy of china falls they too will be affected.
