a common interest

in secure transport routes and security in producing countries. All nations conduct diplomacy to promote their
national interests. Responsible stakeholders go further, they recognize that the international system sustains their peaceful prosperity, so they work to sustain that system. In its foreign policy,

China has many opportunities to be a responsible stakeholder. The most pressing opportunity is North Korea. Since hosting the Six-Party Talks at their inception in 2003, China has played a constructive role. This week we achieved a Joint Statement of Principles, with an agreement on the goal of verifiable denuclearization of the Korean peninsula in a peaceful manner. But the hard work of implementation lies ahead, and China should share our interest in effective and comprehensive compliance. Moreover, the North Korea problem is about more than just the spread of dangerous weapons. Without broad economic and political reform, North Korea poses a threat to itself and others. It is time to move beyond the half century-old armistice on the Korean peninsula to a true peace, with regional security and development. A Korean peninsula without nuclear weapons opens the door to this future. Some thirty years ago America ended its war in Viet Nam. Today Viet Nam looks to the United States to help integrate it
into the world market economic system so Viet Nam can improve the lives of its people. By contrast, North Korea, with a fifty yearold cold armistice, just falls further behind. Beijing

also has a strong interest in working with us to halt the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missiles that can deliver them. The proliferation of danger will undermine the benign security environment and healthy international economy that China needs for its development. Chinas actions on Irans nuclear program will reveal the seriousness of Chinas commitment to nonproliferation. And while we welcome Chinas efforts to police its own behavior through new export controls on sensitive technology, we still need to see tough legal punishments for violators. China and the United States can do more together in the global fight against terrorism. Chinese citizens have been victims of terror attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan. China can help destroy the supply lines of global terrorism. We have made a good start by working together at the United Nations and searching for terrorist money in Chinese banks, but can expand our cooperation further. China pledged $150 million in assistance to Afghanistan, and $25 million to Iraq. These pledges were welcome, and we look forward to their
full implementation. China would build stronger ties with both through follow-on pledges. Other countries are assisting the new Iraqi government with major debt forgiveness, focusing attention on the $7 billion in Iraqi debt still held by Chinese state companies.

U.S.-China relations key to global stability, resources, regional conflicts Britain Germany analogy proves Bennhold 2010 Correspondent for the International Herald Tribune [Katrin, 9/13/10, Prior
senior economist writer for Bloomberg News, The New York Times Mutual Trust Called Crucial to U.S. China Relations http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/13/world/europe/13geneva.html?ref=katrinbennhold Accessed 7/15/11//DL] There is no more consequential bilateral relationship for the U.S. than that with China, Mr. Steinberg said. The

test of the future, he said, will be whether Washington and Beijing can have differences without fundamentally destabilizing their relationship. He pointed to the numerous times the United States and European capitals had disagreed in recent decades, but at the end of the day there was strategic trust.
Chinas rise as a major economic and political player is forcing governments across the world to adapt their strategic thinking on

everything from energy security to regional conflict resolution and economic policy much faster than many had anticipated.

Simmering tension between Washington and Beijing has been recurrent. China resented the joint
naval exercises America conducted with South Korea after Seoul accused North Korea of sinking one of its warships in March, killing 46 sailors. American

policy makers and analysts regularly criticize China for not allowing its currency to rise further against the dollar. And the standoff between the Chinese government and Google early
this year over censorship has come to symbolize growing difficulties many U.S. companies experience in China. Avoiding such disagreements will be impossible, experts and officials in Geneva said, but ensuring

that such differences do not fundamentally undermine the relationship is key to global stability in the decades ahead, they said. Mr. Kissinger drew an analogy between Chinas emergence as a great power and potential rival of the United States, and Germanys rise in Europe a hundred years ago. At the time, the inability of the then dominant international power, Britain, to integrate Germany ultimately ended in two devastating world wars. The DNA of both countries could generate a growing adversarial relationship, much as Germany and Britain drifted from friendship to confrontation, unless their leadership groups take firm steps to counteract such trends, Mr. Kissinger said. Neither Washington nor Beijing has much practice in cooperative relations with equals, he said. Yet their leaders have no more important task than to implement the truths that neither country will ever be able to dominate the other and that conflict between them would exhaust their societies and undermine the prospect of world peace. Mr. Steinberg called Mr. Kissingers analogy an important cautionary tale, but expressed confidence that both countries recognized that cooperation was ultimately in their interest. Strategic competition was no long-term sustainable strategy, he said, arguing for cooperation on everything from access to natural resources to pacifying regional conflicts, like the war in Afghanistan.

[Che and Chen, senior reporters, 11/20/04, Xinhua News, Chinese, US presidents discuss ties, Korean nuclear issue, Taiwan, accessed 7/12/11//HK] Santiago, 20 November: Chinese State President Hu Jintao met with US President George W. Bush in Santiago, the capital of Chile, on 20 November on the sidelines of the informal meeting of APEC Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders. With

regard to Sino-US relations, Hu Jintao said that in the past four years, positive progress has been made in Sino-US constructive and cooperative relations Chinese: jian she xing he zuo guan xi . Highlevel dialogue and exchanges at various levels between the two sides have increased, new progress has been made in coordination and cooperation in economy, trade, antiterrorism, the reconstruction of Iraq, law-enforcement, and other areas, and exchanges between the two armed forces have basically been resumed. Facts have fully shown that China and the United States share extensive common interests and can entirely carry out mutually beneficial cooperation in a large number of areas to benefit the people of China and the United

the CSIS Delegation to China on China-Africa-U.S. Relations, http://www.csis.org/media/csis/pubs/chinainafrica.pdf China, in its quest for a closer strategic partnership with Africa, has increasingly dynamic economic, political, and diplomatic activities on the continent. As demonstrated in the third Forum on China and Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in November 2006, the high-profile summit marked a historic moment in China- Africa relations. Chinas highest leadership actively espoused the summits ambitious vision, which was enthusiastically embraced by a broad range of African leaders. Forty-eight African countries were present, including 43 heads of state. The Chinese push forward in Africa raises the promise of achieving future gains that benefit Africa in significant, constructive ways, raising hopes that China will seriously turn its attention to long-neglected areas such as infrastructure development and that its strategic approach will raise Africas status globally, intensify political and market competition, create promising new choices in external partnerships, strengthen African capacities to combat malaria and HIV/AIDS, and propel the continents economic growth, enabling African countries to better integrate with the global economy. Africa prefers Chinese aid to the US for multiple reasons Peter Brookes, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, 07, Into Africa: China's Grab for Influence and Oil, Heritage Lecture #1006, 3/26, http://www.heritage.org/Research/Africa/hl1006.cfm
Some applaud Chinese engagement in Africa, saying it brings in billions in aid, loans, and creditsall reportedly without political conditions. Others, disillusioned with Western leaders, think China might better understand the unique problems of African underdevelopment. Some say that diplomatically, the Chinese treat them as equals.
Some Africans and Chinese find common ground in the view that the West's historical experiences in achieving development are distant from the African experience. They add that the Western model offers too few transferable lessons for Africa and has generated too few dramatic success stories in Africa to be worthy of further consideration. Beijing supports this notion by promoting the idea that engagement with the West is overly moralizing, conditional, and overly bureaucratic. Moreover, paraphrasing from the Council on Foreign Relations 2005 report on Africa, China is also investing and providing assistance

in areas that Western aid agencies have long neglectedphysical infrastructure, industry, and agriculture. The CFR report also says that China offers African nations a financing alternative to Western donors, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, providing choices these countries might not otherwise have. As a
Nigerian government commerce official said, "The U.S. will talk to you about governance, efficiency, about security, about the environment. The Chinese just ask: How do we procure this license."[1] Many African governments also like the Chinese

policy of "non-interference" in their internal affairs.

trade, which is expected to top $40 billion this year. That could double to $80 billion by 2010 on the back of an insatiable demand for oil and mineral resources to feed Chinas booming economy. A two-fold effect on Africa is expected. First, tangible

improvement to the human condition, as the Chinese train 15,000 African professionals over the next three years. China will also set up a $5 billion-fund to encourage Chinese companies to invest in Africa. Its assistance will create jobs for millions of unemployed

Africans. Second, strong cultural ties with China will develop. No wonder Hu Jintao and Mugabe toasted an unshakeable
friendship while the presidents of Liberia and Guinea Bissau shopped at Ji Mingrens store at the Silk Market.

China's Soft Power in Africa: From the "Beijing Consensus" to Health Diplomacy, 10/13, http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article.asp?parentid=32003)
Chinas relations with Africa have steadily deepened and strengthened since the founding of "new China" in 1949. Evolving from ideologically-driven interactions during the Cold War, todays China-Africa relations combine pragmatic economic and political means to achieve Chinas objective of establishing a world order that is peaceful and conducive to continued economic growth and stability at home. In the 1960s and 1970s, China supported liberation movements in several African countries, gave aid to socialist nations to build stadiums, hospitals, railroads and other infrastructure, and cemented relations through a steady stream of expert engineers, teachers, and doctors. Today, Chinese officials travel to Africa accompanied by bankers and businesspeople, promoting political and economic commerce that expands China-Africa ties in a sustainable fashion. While

trade and diplomacy are driven by Chinas newfound economic strength and subsequent demand for raw materials, China continues to support longstanding programs that deliver aid to underserved African citizens, such as sending teams of doctors and providing medicines. Following the framework set out by the first China-Africa Cooperation Forum in 2000, China-Africa relations are set to advance through a combination of traditional financial aid and technical support programs, along with rapidly growing bilateral trade and investment.

China has also offered aid to its African partners, ranging from building infrastructure to treating infectious diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS. Since the 1960s, over 15,000 Chinese doctors have worked in 47 African states treating nearly 180 mil lion patients.[32] Chinese-sponsored roads and rail ways are under construction in Kenya, Rwanda, and Nigeria, and a mobile telephone network is being built in Tunisia. These projects are often con tracted
to Chinese firms rather than local busi nesses, adding little to the local economy in terms of employment. State-run China Radio Interna tional launched its first overseas radio station in Kenya in January 2006 to provide 2 million Ken yans with 19 hours of daily programming on major news from China and around the world, including Chinas exchanges with African countries.[33]

NGOs conclude that China is a key asset in family planning services; their past experience helps reduce maternal and infant mortality rates Xinhua News Agency, 2006 [Nov 6, China vows to help developing countries improve reproductive health, p. lexis] China's family planning authority agreed here on Wednesday to help developing countries increase their awareness of reproductive health and improve population management. The National Population and Family Planning Commission of China signed three agreements at an on-going international conference on population and development with Partners in Population and Development (PPD), offering to provide training programs in population management and contraceptive supplies to developing countries. PPD, a Bangladesh-based inter-governmental organization of developing countries, now has 21
members including China, India, Pakistan, and Egypt, covering more than 54 percent of the world's population. According to the three agreements, China

will provide two training programs for developing countries, likely in Africa, every year for the next four years. It will also donate 10 million yuan (1.3 million U.S. dollars) worth of

contraceptives to PPD member countries.

The agreements also invite China's relatively developed coastal provinces to offer technology, training, and reproductive health products and equipment to some PPD member countries. Gill Greer,

China's help is of great value, as developing countries, especially in South Sahara African countries, are suffering high maternal and infant mortality and an AIDS epidemic.

Pro: China Solves Terrorism China has played a productive role in scaling down the Darfur crisis. Financial Times, 2007 [BAN CHINA'S ROLE IN DARFUR CONSTRUCTIVE, June 27, Chinadaily.com, Global News wire, p. lexis] The Chinese government has played a "constructive role" in the Darfur issue, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday, stressing that "slow but credible and considerable progress" has been made in recent times. Addressing a press conference after a meeting on Darfur in Paris, Ban said he was "satisfied" with China's contribution to the diplomatic process. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said the delegations of 18 countries and international organizations reiterated their support for the joint efforts of the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN) sending a composite peacekeeping force and striking a wider political deal between Khartoum and the rebel factions in western Sudan. Deputy Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui, who attended the meeting, backed the "road map" for the political process in Darfur, which was presented recently by the UN secretary-general's special representative Jan Eliasson and the AU special coordinator for Darfur Salim Ahmed Salim. Zhang appealed to all sides to urge the Darfur rebels into rejoining the peace process as soon as possible. The implementation of the "road map" is at a "crucial" stage, and pressure and sanctions on Khartoum would send the "wrong signals" that could be "unfavorable" to confidence building between the Sudanese government and the rebels. This can complicate matters instead of resolving the Darfur issue, he said. Earlier this month, Sudan agreed to the joint UN-AU force of more than 20,000 troops and policemen as part of the second phase of former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan's peace plan. Zhang said the agreement reached among the AU, UN and Sudan is an "important sign of progress" toward restoring peace in the Darfur regions. It demonstrates the efficiency of the coordination mechanism between the three parties. But Zhang regretted that the political process on Darfur is behind schedule compared to the peacekeeping operations. China has donated more than $10 million in humanitarian aid for Darfur. Also, it will send a team of engineers to the regions. China is always ready to play a "positive and constructive" role on Darfur and join hands with the international community to restore peace and stability in the Darfur regions and help with their development, he said. "This is not the time to talk about further sanctions," said Liu Guijin, China's recently appointed special envoy for Darfur. He decried the attempts to link the Darfur issue with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, saying they were "really unfounded (because) the basic character of the Olympics is nonpolitical". "I met with Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir in Khartoum, and he told me that the Sudanese government was actually ready to join the negotiating table any time, anywhere," Liu told reporters on Monday. French President Nicolas Sarkozy praised Sudan for agreeing to the joint UN-AU force but said: "We must be firm toward belligerents who refuse to join the negotiating table." "There are 19 rebel groups in

Sudan now, and we must exert enough pressure on them to return to the negotiating table," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said.
