"Opening of 24th issue of "China in Arab Eyes

The minister who decided to employ the “dealing” policy instead of the “containment” policy with the Chinese giant heard a large number of good words from the Chinese officials and was welcomed with a great reception that suited his position. In addition, he brought along a “hot error” in order to communicate with the Chinese command after a number of misunderstandings over the past years, which could have resulted into an ominous situation.
Anyhow, the U.S. minister with his administration behind remains occupied without any clear answers or tangible steps that will lead to solution. This issue rendered some highly informed people say that the Chinese “sold” to the American that arrived with questions an encyclopedia of incomprehensive Chinese words!
Transparency which the U.S. war minister Robert Gates demanded from the Chinese command on the field of the escalating military expenditure in the recent period was faced with numerous words about comparisons against powers in the region and outside the region such as Japan and France, each of which are spending militarily as much as China. Furthermore, there is the U.S. expenditure level to which no one can ever reach for coming decades.
Talking about the militarization of space by China, which Washington rejects, except for itself, was faced by China with conclusive reassurances. However, the Americans cannot forget the missile which Beijing launched in the last spring in order to destroy an old satellite nor it can forget the arrival of the Chinese probe to moon, especially in these particular days. This issue raised a thousand questions in Washington regarding the Chinese space intentions.
The difficult case which the U.S. minister discussed in Beijing did not reach any compromise regarding the U.S. and Chinese demands with a repetitive explanation from China that its initial stances did not hold any actual movements.
The U.S. minister visited China with his eyes glowing with the Iranian nuclear case, hoping to urge China give up its position that rejects the escalation of the economic sanctions against Iran. Nevertheless, he departed the Chinese capital with a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, calling on Iran to seriously deal with the “international worry” pertaining to its nuclear dossier. There was nothing else he could manage but facing the conclusive Chinese rejection against any escalation of sanctions. Therefore, there was no way for him to bring up any military options?
We must not wonder when we see that the “practical American” is unable to understand anything of the Chinese words that are wrapped with a cover of oriental magic that cannot be calculated by the pentagon computers or even bring clear stances to the surface. The Chinese words are composed of scripts that require great skills to be calculated and recognized in order to understand what the Chinese are saying.
The minister who visited Beijing for the first time seems to lack any experience in this field.
