China understands that, for now, US strategic primacy is an immutable reality. Even so, its leaders’ strategic anxiety was on display at President Xi Jinping’s June meeting with US President Barack Obama, where he demanded, with the vagueness characteristic of Chinese officials, “mutual respect” and recognition of China’s “territorial integrity.”
中国明白，当前美国的战略地位是不可改变的现实。即便如此，其领导人的战略焦虑也在国家主席习近平六月会见美国总统奥巴马时体现了出来，带着中国官员式的含糊特质，他要求美国“相互尊重”并且承认中国的“领土完整”。
