 Wu Jianmin, many thanks for coming to WPC TV. You are an advisor to the Foreign Ministry in China and also former ambassador, I think, to France. If you could look at the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, how does China regard the so-called pivot to Asia by the United States? Is it somehow threatening rather than accommodating? You know when we look at the pivot strategy to Asia, we are puzzled because on one side, China-U.S. relationship is growing rapidly. Myself, I went to the U.S. for the first time in 1971. In 1971, the trade volume between China and the U.S. amounted to 5 million U.S. dollars. Last year, 520 billion U.S. dollars means what? Means there is increasing economic interdependence between China and the U.S. I think it's good. On the other side, we are disturbed by the repeated statement from U.S. administration about the military alliance. President Obama said the U.S.-Japan military alliance is a cornerstone of Asia-Pacific security. If that is true, where is the place of other countries, China, ASEAN, etc. People to Asia, to some extent, I understand, because U.S. as only superpower has to follow the center of gravity of international relations. This center of gravity of international relations is moving, it's shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific, U.S. has to follow this move. Follow this move, what does it mean? To strengthen military alliance? This is cold war thinking. I take your point, but I mean, presumably the Americans would argue that it's actually the Japanese who feel somewhat threatened or uneasy at the rise of China's power, and therefore it's Japan, among other Asian countries, that feels the need for this American pivot. You know, there are different logics. Military alliance, people, different countries become allies, allies, what for? You are aiming at some people, some countries. Military alliance is calling for counter-military alliance. China is refraining from doing so, because to my understanding, military alliance is something of the past. What we have to do, I think, is to develop mutually beneficial cooperation so that the foundation of the relationship between my country and the rest of the world will grow stronger and stronger. Then one foundation is growing stronger and stronger. When we look at our differences, we will be in a better position to deal with our differences. So this is a way. So military alliance, this kind of logic is coming from Cold War. The Cold War is over. So I think we have to adapt to new reality of the world today. Wu Jianmin, thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
