Some foreign affairs specialists believed that the Sino-China relationship was more critical in the long run than Middle East, because they believe the emergence of a major new power could challenge the leading role of the United States in world affairs.

"There's no reason to believe we are any smarter today than the policymakers who 'mismanaged' the rise of Germany and Japan (before the second World War), " former State Department official and conservative commentator Robert Kagan wrote in a recent article in the Washington Post regarding the challenge of China's emergence towards the United States.

Some experts outside the administration described the new talk as a positive step, the LA Times reported.

"What the administration is doing is critically necessary," said Representative Robert Wexler, a member of the House International Relations Committee, who recently visited China. "China will rise with or without the U.S., so the real question is if the U.S. can also prosper and if it can play a constructive role in creating an environment where China can cooperate on common interests."

Some U.S.-China specialists interpreted the broad perspective of the new conversation as a chance for the U.S. to show a receptive stance to China's uprising power.

"Our goal is to see the rise of a China that is a positive force in international politics," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week in Beijing.

Despite of all these positive gesture toward China, the emotion toward Beijing has been complicated and even contradictory.
