Last March, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson attempted to set American policy toward China for the next 50 years. Washington in its dealings with the Chinese state, he said, would be guided by the principles of \u201cnon-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
