To be sure, the US is right to wonder whether the new order that China hopes to build will be as open and rules-based as the American-led order – the one that gave China the market access it needed to achieve its spectacular economic rise. But the answer to that question can be found only by engaging China on the issue of reform of global governance – not by denying that change is needed at all.
平心而论，美国质疑中国希望构建的新秩序是否能与美国所领导的秩序一样公开并以规则为基础——从而让中国获得实现其壮观经济崛起所需要的市场——这是正确的。但这一质疑的答案只能通过将中国纳入全球治理改革等问题来寻找，否认必要的改变无助于事。
