Shen Dingli, China.org.cn: How should China, US improve relations on security?

Interaction between China and the United States is expanding. Bilateral economic and trade ties have deepened and been mutually beneficial. The China-U.S. security relationship is developing, too. They collaborate on a number of international security issues, including anti-terror initiatives, and nonproliferation.

As the two broaden their security ties, however, they also confront increasing challenges. China's rising power makes some wary of its aspirations and future moves. The security order in the Asia-Pacific region is evolving. China, through its declaration of an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea and its land reclamation in South China Sea, has actively changed the region's security landscape, potentially boosting its own strategic position.
