These are challenges that cry out for clarity, not diplomatic fudges. But surely two great and ancient civilizations can find their way to the type of “cordial, frank, courteous, temperate, deferential…” relations that would have pleased Confucius.
所有这些挑战都亟需中国去认真面对，而不靠那套外交辞令来虚与委蛇。但我敢肯定的是，两大文明古国必能共同找到一条符合孔子“温、良、恭、俭、让”理念的道路。
