David Sanger, Xi and Obama See Pitfalls That Might Be Difficult to Avoid; Cordiality and progress, with flashes of nationalism. New York Times, June 10, 2013.
Quote:
"American intelligence officials have told Mr. Obama that the cyberattacks on American companies emanating from China, which have swept up billions of dollars’ worth of intellectual property, are caused by the increasing desperation inside China to keep its economy growing at 7 or 8 percent a year. Chinese leaders consider that rate necessary to create enough jobs for the millions of young Chinese who flock to the coastal manufacturing centers each year.
"That [first creating a relationship and a tone] might be a lesson from Mr Obama’s dealings with the Chinese leadership during his first term. He began in 2009 by making it clear to Hu Jintao, Mr Xi’s predecessor, that the United States was not seeking to contain Chinese power; Mr. Obama said in a speech delivered on his first trip to China that the United States could not do so even if it tried. The speech was part of a careful effort to reassure the Chinese that the United States was willing to make room for a new superpower, as long as it played by international rules. For a while, there was talk of a 'G-2,' an economic collaboration between the largest- and second-largest economies in the world. That talk evaporated quickly. By 2010, China’s military had made it clear that it viewed Mr. Obama’s overture as an expression of American weakness. * * * Mr. Obama angrily told aides that he needed 'leverage' over the Chinese, according to several officials.
Note: This report (English-language one at any rate) was written in the wake of the Sunnylands talk.
