Clinton speech also welcomed China's role in a comprehensive new area which the world finds itself.

Clinton stressed that relations have reached a critical point and the two counties need to work together more effectively. "We’re no longer in a 'zero-sum' world of foreign policy where the rise of one country diminishes another," Sec. Clinton said. She added, "In this more complicated world, the U.S. and China are entangled and China’s rise is good for the U.S."
