China to work with Obama's national security team
AP - Tuesday, December 2
BEIJING - China said Tuesday it is looking forward to working with President-elect Barack Obama's national security team, welcoming Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state and retired Marine Gen. James Jones as White House national security adviser.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has already sent a message congratulating both on their appointments.
"Foreign Minister Yang spoke positively of progress made in Sino-US relations in recent years, and is looking forward to working together on promoting constructive and cooperative Sino-US ties," he said, according to a notice on the Foreign Ministry's Web site.
Trade issues are likely to dominate relations between Washington and Beijing as the world faces a growing economic crisis and China's economy slows.
Cabinet ministers from the two countries will meet later this week in Beijing for two days of talks on trade, energy and the environment, but are likely to be overshadowed by the financial crisis.
"We need to step up coordination of our macroeconomic policies to ease the current crisis and see the global economy recover at an early date," Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao told reporters last week.
President Hu Jintao warned in a weekend speech that China was losing its competitive edge in trade as global demand plummets in response to the global financial crisis, the Communist Party's official People's Daily newspaper said Sunday.
In the U.S. , the National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of academic economists, officially confirmed Monday that the world's largest economy has been suffering through a recession since December 2007.
During his campaign, Obama described China as "neither our enemy nor our friend; they're competitors." He called for broad cooperation with Beijing while repeating the accusation that the trade surplus was stoked by a Chinese currency kept artificially cheap.
