“Established Power” vs. “Rising Power”
With U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton making another trip to the Asia-Pacific, the U.S. State Department posted her comments from a joint press conference today with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi online.There was one line that really caught my eye:
"As I have said before, our two nations are trying to do something that has never been done in history, which is to write a new answer to the question of what happens when an established power and a rising power meet."
Note the term "established power." Very interesting choice of words.
