Hundreds of Chinese diplomats(外交官) are in the United States this week for meetings with U.S. officials. The two sides were expected to discuss problems such as computer security and tensions in the South China Sea.
The meetings are known as the U.S./China Strategic and Economic Dialogue. This is the seventh dialogue between the world's top two economies. A China expert described relations between the two as complex. But she said the countries can deal with their differences so long as they continue talking.
On Monday, State Department official John Kirby described this week as important for relations between the United States and China. He said the two sides have a lot to talk about.
Mr. Kirby admits that the U.S. and China disagree about a lot of things. But he says each country recognizes there are many areas where cooperation is good for both sides. He describes the dialogue as one of the most important tools for discussing disputes and building support for common interests.
Ms. Glaser says computer security may be more important than any other problem at the discussions. Earlier this month, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management said it had discovered a four-month long attack on its computers in April. It said the attackers had stolen information about as many as four million current and retired federal employees. Investigators say it appeared the attack was launched from somewhere in China.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. has not accused anyone of the crime. He said the attack is still being investigated.
Ms. Glaser says both countries have wise leaders, and many Americans and Chinese have taken part in cultural exchange programs. She says both countries need each other if they are to be economically secured(安全). She says eight U.S. presidents have supported a policy of engagement with China. She says that policy is the right one -- for both the United States and China.
