Better China-US ties not 'one way' effort: Clinton
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Secretary of State designate Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday in testimony to a Senate confirmation hearing that improving ties with China was not a "one way effort" and depended on Beijing's behavior.
"We want a positive and cooperative relationship with China, one where we deepen and strengthen our ties on a number of issues," Clinton said in prepared testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations committee.
"But this is not a one-way effort -- much of what we will do depends on the choices China makes about its future at home and abroad."
