Sparring partners

Article Abstract:

There were indications of closer relations being established between China and the US during President Bill Clinton's visit to China. However, there are still certain areas of tension between the two countries. China is aware that it needs to cooperate with the US in order to create an environment in which domestic economic reform can be undertaken, and both countries have acknowledged that their interests are converging in many ways. However, China remains unwilling to compromise on Taiwan, and this could prove a barrier to warmer relations with the US.
