Looking Past the 'Orchestra Pit' on China
Posted by The Editors
This post by Nina Hachigian, who is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.
I went to an interesting exhibit yesterday, called 91 92 93, on display at the Schindler house in Los Angeles. In it, three artists, Andrea Fraser, Simon Leung and Lincoln Tobier, each revisited a work they had done some 20 years earlier. Tobier’s piece documented the political impact of Roger Ailes, long before Rupert Murdoch hired him to create Fox News. Tobier told the story of how Roger Ailes fathered the “orchestra pit” theory of the media with this question: “If you have two guys on a stage and one guy says, 'I have a solution to the Middle East problem,' and the other guy falls in the orchestra pit, who do you think is going to be on the evening news?”
Ailes has certainly taken his theory to new heights with Fox News. But it is pervasive now, and no more so than with China. Only certain issues with China make the headlines—the value of its currency, the new jet fighter, the recent brutal crackdown on artists and political activists. While those issues are each very important, what the media coverage of the US-China relationship does not tend to reveal is how broad it has become.
In addition to the mother of all bilateral forums, the annual Strategic & Economic Dialogue that was just held in Washington, D.C. , where the big issues like trade imbalances are on the agenda, look below at the list of over 40 other formal dialogues or cooperative efforts that exist or soon will between the US and Chinese governments. This is far from a complete list, and it does not include the multilateral fora where the US and China are always interacting, like the G-20, IMF, East Asia Summit and APEC, among others. Non-government cooperative efforts are not listed either.
All this exchanging can lead to tangible change. The deliverables from this week’s S&ED were not breakthroughs, but were progress nonetheless. And we cannot expect much more when two massive nations with different systems of government, history and values are trying to work things out.
There is no G-2. The US and China, even if they did see eye-to-eye, could not solve global problems on their own. But deepening the very broad working relationship is a step in the right direction.

Do we really want to bring Georgia into NATO and risk sending American sons and daughters to remote mountainous inland Asia in coming years to fight nuclear-armed Russia over a territorial dispute involving at most tens of thousands of people?

No one can succeed without any hard work. Karl Max was successful, because he spent more than 30 years writing the book "Communist Manifesto"; Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had experimented thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work. If you want to suc-ceed, work hard first.zhongchengmaoyi110post
