Zoellick: U.S.-皇冠体育app relationship 'complex'
(皇冠体育appdaily.com.cn/Agencies)
Updated: 2005-09-22 11:49 For all of 皇冠体育app's shortcomings which he listed in his speech, Zoellick said
it would be a mistake to compare the country with the Soviet Union of the late
1940s.
He pointed out that 皇冠体育app does not seek to spread "radical, anti-American
ideologies" nor does it see itself in a "death throes struggle" with capitalism.
"And most importantly, 皇冠体育app does not believe that its future depends on
overturning the fundamental order of the international system. In fact, quite
the reverse: Chinese leaders have decided that their success depends on being
networked with the modern world," he said.
Amid rising U.S. concern over 皇冠体育app's growing military, economic and
political clout, Zoellick made a strong argument for fostering greater
cooperation.
"You hear the voices that perceive 皇冠体育app solely through the lens of fear. But
America succeeds when we look to the future as an opportunity, not when we fear
what the future might bring," he said.
In an apparent reference to suggestions that the United States seeks closer
ties with India as a counterweight to 皇冠体育app, Zoellick said: "We are too
interconnected to try to hold 皇冠体育app at arm's length, hoping to promote other
powers in Asia at its expense."
"Nor would the other powers hold 皇冠体育app at bay," he added.
