Cooperation on the Pacific horizon

By Kurt R. Spillmann (China Daily) Updated: 2013-10-18 08:12

This resulted in agreements concerning common efforts in two areas: to reduce the production and emission of chlorofluorocarbon (a central topic of climate protection) and to urge the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to resume negotiations on nuclear disarmament, also a central topic of international security policy. This was criticized by various US commentators, yet these critics did not understand that it actually involved much greater questions which could not be discussed publicly.

It involves the avoidance of an unnecessary and unfruitful rivalry of the two greatest powers in the Pacific region and if possible the establishment of a cooperative order in the Pacific.

China had been a major power in the Pacific long before the US existed, and the memories of a presence as a world power uncontested for two and a half thousand years have strongly returned to consciousness with China's economic ascendancy since the Deng Xiaoping era.

The period of humiliation since the Opium Wars through the Western colonial powers with their superior military equipment is only seen as a brief interruption in China's major power status, with corresponding residual mistrust toward Western intentions and the expectation that China's historically established territorial claims will be respected.

China has long since reclaimed the South China Sea as national territory "since time immemorial" and substantiates this claim through maps, old documents and archaeological finds. China wants to be recognized as an equal major power by other countries.

With Obama there is a man currently residing in the White House who would like to implement a new model of collective promotion of economic development in the entire Pacific region through dialogue under the leadership of the world's two largest economies.

It remains to be seen to what extent individual issues pertaining to economics, security and alliance policies can burden the budding partnership.

History's first strategist, Sun Tzu, who wrote the Art of War over 2,000 years ago, substantiated the proclivity of Chinese heads of state for indirect warfare by using all those means which are referred to as "soft power" today. Because according to his basic assumption, the best war is the war not fought if one can achieve its objectives by other means.

In the modern world, this phrase has obtained new validity through the destructive power of existing weaponry. Philosopher Karl Jaspers formulated the expression "there must be no more war" after the first use of an atomic bomb in Hiroshima, because any war could lead to the self-destruction of humankind.

One can only wish luck and success for the efforts of the two greatest powers on this earth to want to collectively tackle the challenges of the future.
