"In his recent article, 'Stabilizing Relations through High-level Exchanges,' Shen Dingli, Associate Dean at Fudan University, presents an urgent case for the importance of the national challenges ahead between China and America. Shen's premise is that America and China must have regular and sustained 'high-level exchanges including summit meetings to help boost trust and soothe concerns.'
We concur with Shen's premise but believe it is only part of the puzzle that is sustaining relations during both good times and bad. Citizens on both sides of the Pacific should be informed by the overlooked pieces: powerful Chinese and American leaders hard at work below the national level."
