Acknowledging the recent strains on U.S.-Sino relations,
former U.S. President Bill Clinton has urged the United States
and China to become partners to create a more harmonious world.

　　Speaking at the closing of a business forum(经济论坛) in
Hong Kong, Clinton told delegates that America has a fundamental
interest in a stable Asia and the key is "getting the China
relationship right."

　　"The important thing it seems to me is not to assume that
the relationship is inherently adversarial but instead to take
what we know is the truth -- that the world will be a better
place over the next 50 years if we are partners, if we are
working together," he said
