A diplomatic balancing act between China and the US - 23 Oct 08

One of the most difficult foreign policy goals awaiting the next US president will be managing the United States' relationship with China.

In some respects, the Bush administration might regard it as one of its few foreign policy successes, despite getting off to a rocky start.

In the fourth of our special reports on ties between China and the United States, Tony Cheng looks at the delicate diplomatic balancing act.

liuguoyu: China, with its US$ 2 TRILLION foreign currency reserves (No. 1 in the world and TWICE of No. 2 Japan's), will come out much stronger through the global geo-political and economic reshuffle from this Wall Street Meltdown. Of course, U.S., EU, and Japan will become much weaker after their self-inflicted economic mess.

We've seen this before during the Asian Financial Crisis back in 1998. Ten years ago, China's foreign currency reserves was US$ 145 Billion or 1/13 of now.

@eightincher8 And another 2 things, 1st Spain is no longer Spain, in international matters you should talk about the European Union(biggest GDP in the world) 2nd China is going to be the leading country in the world (thats great and well deserved for the chineese efforts) but the way they are building this superpower they will soon be is NOT by nuclear weapons and other toys, but by making GOOD FRIENDS around the world like South Africa, Australia, OPEC coutries, Brazil, etc.

@eightincher8 I have absolutely nothing vsa China

[eightincher8]

Spain is a backward unciviilzed tiny nation, no nuclear weapons, no nuclear subs, no space ship, no nothing. so you should shut the fuck up and get down to your knees and worship us cuz we are the most superior race.

China has 1.3 billion people not 1.5. and $1500 in china can buy a lot more than 150,000 in Spain thanks to controlled inflation and government regulated prices for grocery and necessities. But this is foreign reserve, China doesnt need to finance its people's loan because Chinese dont have much loans and debts.

[madridisinSpain]

1.9trillion $ in a country with 1.5 billion is almost $1300 per chineese, I know it doesn't sound like much, but it must be abut a year of salary there.

The so called freedom fighter who live in United state are just bunch of self serving traitor to their nation.
