accused the United States is still holding at 'Cold War mentality' and hold at the same time, their words and deeds, including a Interpretation of these U.S. actions, whether by 'opponents mentality' impact?

Hu Jintao visited the United States and Sino-US summit has concluded, the parties have made in assessing the results of the summit, with the understanding, the release of information, of course, including the left defect. China and the U.S. in the way used to estimate the sale of both gains and losses. People think that China has had face, lost in the child. China also got the bulk of Americans think the United States only had a small head, today. I'd believe that the development of Sino-US relations to the present, a summit to see whether it is meaningful and successful, not only to see how much it results in the short term, there are relations between the two countries to see if it laid the foundation for long-term stability. Obama's visit to China in 2009 apparently did not do this. Summit of China-US relations after the 2010 troubles continued into the situation of friction. So this summit will be different? After the cold winter will usher in a new Sino-US relations in the spring it? Frankly, nobody can be sure, including Hu Jintao and Obama. But some of the information disclosed by the summit, or at least can bring warmth and hope.

First of all, after going through ups and downs last year, leaders of both countries to further recognize the importance of maintaining long-term stability of Sino-US relations. Terms from the Chinese side, Beijing has stressed the need to long-term perspective, a strategic and long-term vision to look at Sino-US relations. The periodicity of the American political system, U.S. political leaders is not good at long-term perspective from the China-US relations, domestic political influence by the more short-term behavior. This is a Sino-US relations is not easy to overcome these difficulties. But this time I noticed that Obama is also more emphasis on long-term Sino-US relations. He welcomed President Hu's speech at the White House proposed the visit for the next three years lay the foundation for Sino-US relations. And he also raised a very important point: long-term stable Sino-US relations should be built upon the success of each of the parties. In other words, China's success is a blessing for the United States, and vice versa. In this sense, the United States has been a

maintain long-term and stable Sino-US relations is another requirement is to respect each other as equals. History has proved that the two unequal relationship between the great powers can not long be sustained. Sino-US relations should be said that there has been inequality. A Chinese diplomat has complained, in the Sino-US bilateral economic and trade cooperation, the Chinese side felt everywhere from the U.S. side of the inequality During the Bush administration the United States is also at the political level there is discrimination against the Chinese, for example, do not pay a state visit to China the treatment of head of state, to acknowledge the strategic dialogue between China and so on. See from this visit, Obama rejected the old approach, graceful President Hu's state visit to the highest specifications to give the courtesy, Obama also broke convention held at the White House private dinner for President Hu, showing the Chinese people messenger should be respected. Of course, how this ritual of But people see at least in words, Obama on China's RMB exchange rate's position on human rights issues and situations to show more understanding and respect, recognition of China's the position of the United States imposed on China, say that this is an improvement. Similarly, Hu Jintao, a number of issues of concern to the United States, including the universality of human rights, also expressed more recognition, and recognition of China's shortcomings. These are the distance between the two countries closer.

relations between the two countries in order to avoid last year's volatility, Hu Jintao's visit also proposed a new way of thinking. That is to firmly grasp the mainstream dialogue and cooperation, Sino-US relations from This is a worthwhile reference. It has indirectly admitted that the China-US relations strained by last year's But how to define on such a This is not included, such as the United States Han Huanghai exercise such incident? If the answer is yes, then in the future if something like that, China will be a new way how to cope with, so as not to affect Sino-US relations in the mainstream? For example, early last year, bad start of Sino-US relations is to blame for arms sales, resulting in interruption of bilateral military relations. Before and after U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited China repeatedly emphasized that relations between the two armed forces do not want to hit once again proposed the establishment of a stable and sustainable framework for the exchange. The Sino-US joint communiques issued also confirmed the establishment of a healthy, stable and reliable military relations. In this case, if, as media reports, the United States shortly after Hu Jintao's visit to announce a new arms sales to Taiwan, Beijing, how to deal with it? This is to be the two countries to be clarified in practice.

Finally, through this visit, both sides are more acutely aware of the long-term stability of bilateral relations is the biggest obstacle to strategic mutual suspicion. Mentioned earlier to make Sino-US relations are not accidental events is the key to both the long-term strategic intentions of each other have a basic trust, so that it will not be shaken by a moment regarding the confidence of Sino-US cooperation and partnership pursuit. Barack Obama at a press conference to point out the only way to establish this strategic trust, and that is everything to get rid of the mentality of the other as opponents, which is usually about the so-called He also pointed out that the mutual trust and mutual understanding to build upon, including their understanding of the challenges faced. Should be recognized that the A series of events last year deserves our reflection: we accused the United States still have the impact?

In short, after a troubled 2010 after the leaders of the two countries shook hands once again slide against the glacier areas of bilateral relations, as well as spring brought us the information and hope. However, spring, can become a warm day for it. Long-term stable development of Sino-US relations also depend on the two countries and two peoples and politicians continue to work, explore and strive to be possible to achieve.
