Because it is so obviously in every player’s interest to avoid outright conflict, we have stony handshakes like that between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Beijing last month. But if there is to be a genuinely durable peace, the region’s leaders need to work harder and more courageously to achieve it.
显然，避免彻底冲突符合所有行动方的利益，因此我们看到了中国国家主席习近平与日本首相安倍晋三上个月在北京貌合神离地握了手。但如果真的要实现持久和平，该地区领导人就需要更努力、更大胆地实现这一目标。他们都可以追求局面改变措施，但这要求他们拥有必要的政治家风度。
