Bush's China policy: Understanding the first hundred days

The Bush Administration's China policy is struggling; inconsistency and confusion have marked Bush's first one hundred days in office. The key problem is the inability of the new US Government to understand that, even if they disagree with or reject the position of the People's Republic of China (PRC) on a range of issues, they have to accept that the PRC entertains legitimate interests which must be considered. The key to a peaceful future is for the respective governments to acknowledge their interests even when they diverge or conflict. This problem is especially severe in the United States where the construction of a 'China threat' has become a serious hindrance to the development of a mature and nuanced China policy that reflects the grievances and concerns of the CCP leadership. This, in turn, feeds the fears and concerns of those in the PRC who believe that compromise with the United States remains ultimately impossible.
