At least, that’s one view from China.
No country can affect China’s fortunes more directly than the United States. Many potential flashpoints — such as Taiwan, Japan, and North Korea — remain, and true friendship between Washington and Beijing is unlikely. But their interests have grown so intertwined that cooperation is the best way to serve both countries.

Good old fashioned common sense if you ask me. Just like your slogan, ‘Surprisingly Reasonable.’

What happens if we stop buying Chinese goods? Their economy tanks. But this seems, in many ways, an economically codependent relationship. This is not a good thing.
