If America and China Cannot Collaborate, Mankind Will Become Ungovernable.

March 27, 2010 (LPAC)—Amidst the torrent of provocations seeking to drive China and the United States into confrontation to the benefit of the sinking British Empire, an Op-Ed written jointly by an American and a Chinese in China's People's Daily, the official voice of the ruling party, starkly defines the ultimate issue: "Ultimately, what is at stake in conflict between America and China over the value of China's currency and the other issues ... is whether mankind is governable. If America and China cannot be successful [in] economic and military allies in this century, then neither will have a sustainable basis for its economic or national security. If America and China cannot collaborate successfully, mankind will become ungovernable."

The authors, John Milligan-Whyte and Dai Min, founders of the Center for America-China Partnership, contend that "American policymakers are not yet successfully managing America's economic recovery, rising unemployment, [the] relationship with China, or the American people's fear of China. All of these dangerous economic and national security issues are interdependent. None can be solved unless they are all solved."

The authors show tremendous respect for America while they are saddened by how she has lost her way. "America is the most advanced of 192 nations. The Chinese admire it in so many ways. But, Chinese policymakers can only help create global stability to the degree that American policymakers use America's economic and military authority with moral authority that is charismatic rather than insulting, injurious and indifferent to China's wellbeing."

It is the world's crisis of disintegration that puts a sharp point on "hurt feeling" and "insults". "It is traumatically obvious to China and other nations that the world's leading economic and military superpower's current policies have damaged America and all other nations' economic and national security... American policies have made a nearly unsolvable mess of Americans' economic and national security. But American policymakers have the illusion that they have the duty and right to tell and, when necessary, as in the case of the value of China's Yuan, to force China to be a "responsible nation.'"
