in the United States by the many, the common interests of multi-level network consisting of criss-cross, common security interests is undoubtedly the most critical elements One of the mutual cooperation is the best way to achieve that interest.

Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to the United States, the Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State also claimed that the differences between the two countries not affect the two countries Indeed, increasing globalization and deepening interdependence among nations today, the basis of Sino-US common interests far beyond the In this by the many, the common interests of multi-level network consisting of criss-cross, common security interests is undoubtedly one of the most critical elements, mutual cooperation is the best way to achieve that interest.

common security interests of the two countries not only in non-traditional security field, but also in traditional security areas. The so-called non-traditional security threats, including (but not limited to) environmental issues, population problems, infectious diseases, drugs, economic crime, terrorism. They are usually international, ie not produced in a particular country (although some countries may have to assume greater responsibility), the harm caused by nor confined to one country or region, the entire international community should work together. Meanwhile, despite the non-traditional security threats are usually non-military nature, or primarily non-military nature, but can still bring great disaster to human beings, but also often cause or aggravate international conflicts and undermine international stability and peace.

precisely because of non-traditional security threats have these features, as the largest developing country and the largest developed country, China and the U.S. on non-traditional security fields have important common interests, at the same time mutual cooperation to achieve such benefits is the most effective means. In the past, in response to the Asian financial crisis, terrorist attacks, a variety of infectious diseases, etc., between China and the U.S. have conducted fruitful cooperation, thus contributing to common security. Today, the common interests of both countries in this area more prominent, and more broad prospects for cooperation. There is no denying that, as indicated by carbon emissions, in response to non-traditional security threats, because of the responsibility to determine issues such as cost sharing different views between China and the U.S. will be divided. The two countries should be through dialogue and negotiations to overcome their differences, achieve non-traditional security field in the common interest.

the so-called traditional security, in essence, is to prevent the actors in other countries, military threat, not only contains a mission of safeguarding the interests of core countries, but also includes the maintenance of international peace and avoid conflict, the task of international violence. In the traditional security field, the two countries also have important common interests.

the one hand, whether it is facing the daunting task of development in China, or the urgent need to overcome our economic difficulties of the United States, we need a peaceful and stable international environment requires a healthy and positive Sino-US relations. Build and strengthen the dialogue between the two countries in the military field, to prevent misunderstanding or miscalculation caused tension between the two countries, interests of both sides. To this end, in early January this year, held talks with U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Chinese Defense Minister Liang stressed the need to expand common interests, resolve conflicts differences, to ensure healthy and stable Sino-US military relations along the track of development. Gates also said that China and the U.S. military have many common interests and differences will have to be addressed through dialogue.

other hand, the promotion of world peace and stability but as a permanent member of the common responsibility of both countries, but also the interests of both countries. In order to effectively fulfill this mission, the cooperation between them is essential. As the recent situation of the Korean Peninsula profound that, if the war between the DPRK and the ROK is not only the people of both Koreas will be placed directly on the war, East Asian countries would also be implicated, China and the United States is at different levels on and forced to engage in different ways, thus wasting valuable energy and resources to their own economic development and social development are affected.

In short, although the most important in international relations, the most sensitive security areas of the two countries has unavoidable differences and even opposing, but they still have important common interests, and this realization of common interests depends on cooperation rather than confrontation between the two countries. President Nixon visited Beijing in 1972, Premier Zhou Enlai had in a speech at the banquet, said, The future is dark indeed for the. But if we can find common ground, then the chances of achieving world peace is immeasurably enhanced. find more common ground to work to achieve a stable Sino-US relations and the chance for world peace will therefore be further enhanced.
