Clinton walking off stage and shaking hands with Wu Bangguo, chairman of China's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress STORYLINE US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Thursday China and the United States bear a heavy responsibility to cooperate in solving the world's toughest problems. Clinton said on Thursday at a dinner welcoming the chairman of China's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to Washington that "building a strong relationship with China is a central goal of the Obama administration." The Secretary of State steered clear of US complaints on Chinese trade and human rights practices, focusing instead on the need for better communication and trust between the sometime rivals. Clinton said, both must instead cooperate on nuclear standoffs with North Korea and Iran, climate change, non-proliferation, pandemic diseases and poverty reduction. Clinton also announced the countries plan to hold counter-terrorism and human rights talks later this year. He said his was the first visit to the United States by a leader of China's Congress in 20 years.
