Q: What's the American attitude toward China right now? A: [After briefly discussing the recent Congressional and executive actions over the question of Chinese students in the US, Fairbank went on:] The Chinese students who are here are a great asset for the Americans. Future friends maybe, assuming they don't all get fed up with the USA!
不過，我一直認為，中國這麼大而複雜，「分區而治」﹘﹘類似聯邦式的半自治型態﹘﹘應該是比較好的。
