Instead, Obama’s administration is guided by a relativist political realism that assumes respect for cultural and religious distinctions. His secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, underscored this tendency during her first visit to China, where her unmistakeable message was that order and stability take priority over liberty and human rights.
相反，奥巴马内阁奉行相对的政治现实主义政策，重新给予文化和宗教差异以应有的尊重。奥巴马的国务卿希拉里·克林顿在首访中国时特别强调这种新的发展趋势，她明确传递的信息是：秩序和稳定比自由和人权更重要。
