| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China-US relationship is as important as any bilateral relationship in the world. Yet it is also very exceptional. It contains not only contradictions, but also base and needs for cooperation. To build a "positive, cooperative and comprehensive" relationship, China and the US need to resolve four categories of structural contradictions: first, structural contradiction in politics stemmed from differences in social systems, values and religions; second, structural contradiction in economy derived from different development modes and disparity in development level; third, contradiction underlain by differences in security concepts and the character of the security forces; fourth, contradiction arising from the fact that, China and the US, distinct as two particular countries with both at particular historical stages, are of different status and playing different roles in this particular international complex. The establishment of a strategic mutual-trust should be placed atop the agenda of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue. Cooperation between China and the US will benefit both countries and the world at large. |
