Springhill Care Group reports that the Chinese leader seems to be open in creating new and creative ways to foster better relations between the major nations. “We should, through creative thinking and concrete steps, prove that the traditional belief that big powers are bound to enter into confrontation and conflicts is wrong and seek new ways of developing relations between major countries in the era of economic globalization,” he added.

China-US Standoff over Dissident Chen

4. The decision of US to let the blind human rights activist Chen
Guangcheng return into China’s fold following his escape from
authorities is straining ties between the two countries as diplomatic
dialogues opened in Beijing.
The 40-year old Chen who is now considered a dissident became an
international human rights inspiration to many Chinese after earning
the ire of the local government for exposing forced abortions in line
with the country’s one-child policy. The self-taught lawyer took to
the US embassy after his escape, apparently to ask for help but was
eventually ushered into the Beijing Hospital.

5. According to a senior official’s statement to
Springhill Care Group, Chen has indeed went into the embassy
that day and has requested for medical treatment for his
injured foot. American medical personnel have then conducted
medical tests and made appropriate treatment during the time
he was there.

6. Immediately after the incident, the Chinese government has
expressed its disapproval about the entire affair, demanding
an apology from the US for taking Chen in.
“What the U.S. side should do now is neither to continue
misleading the public and making every excuse to shift
responsibility and conceal its wrongdoing, nor to interfere in
the domestic affairs of China,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman Liu Weimin.
This incident came just when the US Secretary of State Hilary
Clinton is visiting Beijing in a meeting with Chinese officials
on security and trade talks. And although no one mentioned
Chen’s name, it is evident in their statements that the
incident is on the spotlight as the 2 nations struggle to
maintain common ground.

7. Clinton said in her opening statement, “The United States
believes that no state can legitimately deny the universal
rights that belong to every human being – or punish those
who exercise them. A China that protects the rights of all
its citizens will be a stronger, more prosperous partner for
the United States.”
Dai Bingguo issued a rebuttal on behalf of China, saying, “I
wish to point out in particular the fundamental way to
manage state-to-state relations is to abide by the basic
norms of international relations, namely to respect China’s
sovereignty, core interests and choice of social system.”

8. Meanwhile, Chinese President Hu Jintao made his point known
in his opening speech during the 4th round of US-China
Strategic and Economic Dialogues. He remarked that US and
China should know how to respect each other despite their
disagreements and also appealed to its counterpart to break
the conventional belief that superpowers are bound to engage
in conflicts.
“Given our different national conditions, it is impossible for
both China and the United States to see eye to eye on every
issue. We should properly manage the differences by improving
mutual understanding so these differences will not undermine
the larger interests of China-U.S. relations,” said Hu.

9. Springhill Care Group reports that the Chinese leader
seems to be open in creating new and creative ways to
foster better relations between the major nations.
“We should, through creative thinking and concrete steps,
prove that the traditional belief that big powers are bound
to enter into confrontation and conflicts is wrong and seek
new ways of developing relations between major countries
in the era of economic globalization,” he added.
