ADVERTISEMENT After a morning of talks during her inaugural visit to China as America's top diplomat, Clinton and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said a regular U.S.-China dialogue on economic issues would be expanded to include troubling security issues. "It is essential that the United States and China have a positive, cooperative relationship," Clinton told reporters at a joint news conference with Yang. She said that they also agreed on the need to develop jointly clean energy technology that would use renewable sources and safely store the dirty emissions from burning coal. With the export-heavy Chinese economy reeling from the U.S. downturn, Clinton sought to reassure China that its massive holdings of U.S. Treasury notes and other government debt would remain a good investment. "I appreciate greatly the Chinese government's continuing confidence in United States treasuries. I think this is well-grounded confidence," Clinton said. "We have every reason to believe that the United States and China will recover, and together we will help lead the world recovery." Yang said China wants to see its foreign exchange reserves _ the world's largest at $1.95 trillion _ invested safely and wanted to continue working with the United States. "I want to emphasize here that the facts speak louder than words. The fact is that China and the United States have conducted good cooperation, and we are ready to continue to talk with the U.S. side," Yang said. Beijing is the last, and some analysts say, the most important stop on Clinton's weeklong visit to Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and China. She was to meet China's president and premier as well as tour a power plant before leaving Sunday. The emphasis on the global economy and climate change highlight the growing importance of U.S.-China relations, which have often soured over disagreements on human rights. In addition to North Korea and Iran, Clinton said that she and Yang discussed Myanmar and Sudan, two countries which receive large Chinese investments but whose governments are at odds with Washington. The agreement to hold regular high-level meetings on security as well as economic issues builds on a twice-yearly "strategic economic dialogue" started by President George W. Bush's treasury secretary, Henry Paulson. The economic officials who met in the Paulson dialogue would be joined by State Department and Chinese Foreign Ministry colleagues, Clinton said. Ahead of her talks, she told reporters that China could play a major role in stemming global warming, improving the economic outlook and addressing threats like North Korea's nuclear program and tenuous security situations in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. And she signaled that those issues would likely take precedence in her discussions ahead of traditional U.S. concerns about human rights about which Clinton said both sides already knew the other's positions. Her stance drew immediate fire from rights groups who said she was squandering Washington's leverage with Beijing. "I think there is a lot of room for cooperation, which we will be seeking," she told reporters just before arriving in China, referring to the financial situation. Clinton stressed the importance of dealing with climate change with China, which has overtaken the United States as the world's leading emitter of greenhouse gases, as well as with the nations she visited earlier on her tour of Asia. Advocacy groups and think tanks have urged the U.S. and China to jointly develop technologies to cleanly use and store the emissions from burning coal, a major source of energy for both countries. "So many of the opportunities for clean energy, technology and the like are going to come out of this region of the world," Clinton said. "Japan, South Korea and China are uniquely situated to be part of the answer to the problem of global climate change." "How we engage them, particularly China, is going to be an incredibly important part of our diplomatic outreach," Clinton said. On security and counterterrorism, she said she would be looking for Beijing to take a more active role in convincing North Korea to return to six-nation nuclear disarmament talks and cool rising tensions between Pyongyang, Seoul and Tokyo. "What will China be willing to do with respect to the six-party talks and their bilateral relationship with North Korea?" Clinton said. "What's their perspective on Afghanistan and Pakistan, where they have historical interests but also current commercial and security interests?" Clinton signaled a shift in tone Friday, saying that persisting disagreements with China over human rights, Taiwan and Tibet should not interfere with cooperation on broader issues. "We have to continue to press them" on Taiwan, Tibet and human rights, she said. "But our pressing on those issues can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crises. We have to have a dialogue that leads to an understanding and cooperation on each of those." Her remarks, likely to be cheered in Beijing, come ahead of a difficult year for the authoritarian government, as it seeks to muffle dissent ahead of politically sensitive anniversaries _ 20 years since the crushing of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement and 50 since the failed Tibetan uprising that forced the Dalai Lama to flee into exile. Beijing has already tightened security in Tibetan areas across western China, which erupted in anti-Chinese government protests last March. Before Clinton's arrival in Beijing, the ruling Communist Party's newspaper People's Daily praised her and the Obama administration for "their profound understanding of the importance of U.S.-China relations." But human rights groups denounced the remarks.
