Commentary: New U.S. gov't needs to craft more constructive China policy (3)

Additionally, while the new Obama administration is set to carry on its "pivot to Asia" policy, it is expected that China's legitimate and core interests and rightful requests to sustain growth should be truly respected.

Forty years ago, former U.S. President Richard Nixon wrote one of the most revered pages in his presidency by making an ice-breaking visit to China, which made the current vigorous bilateral cooperation possible.

Now Obama has a unique opportunity to make an even more far-reaching impact on China-U.S. ties, if he has the political courage and wisdom to cast away the uncalled-for worries over China's rise and forge with the ancient Oriental civilization a mutually beneficial partnership that will underpin their common development in the years ahead.
