It  is pretty impressive that we have such a important and strong relationship with China even though we have  so much tension and disagreement going on with China. It sucks that China and the United Stated clashed so harshly  in the Copenhagen summit because that set the stage fir Obama and his relationship with China. It took then from 2009-2014 to fix a relationship instead of building it.

The problem in the South China Sea is so disputed by both sides it sees as if though it is a huge misunderstanding. It seems that it would really benefit both sides to sit down and get to the root of the problem and come to a solution of how can this problem be fixed. This is not the only problem by any means. Another example is China decided that it no longer needs the same American involvement in its market/economy and started shutting the U.S. out. It is disappointing to know that the U.S. is looking  towards changing its relationship with China in order to protect America and American Businesses. I completely understand why, but knowing how much it would hurt the U.S. and China and other countries I hope we find another option.

Also, side note I completely agree with Melanie Hart that we need to start focusing more on the U.S. and out internal problems/ struggles that need to be dealt with and stop bashing China and acting as if they are responsible for our problems.
