China-U.S. Relations Remain Resilient
By staff reporter ZHOU LIN
On September 10, Nicholas Platt delivers a keynote speech at the 8th World Forum on China Studies held in Shanghai.
“Over the past 40 years, I have seen many ups and downs of the U.S.-China relationship, and all these are quite natural,” 83-year-old President Emeritus of the Asia Society Nicholas Platt told China Today. “China is too big to contain； the relationship too complex to dismantle. We have spent decades together, both competing and cooperating while dealing with serious crises along the way. I think we will survive this time.”
“China Boy” Forever
“To be honest, I lost count of how many times I have been to China. I think it is more than 60,” the silverhaired Platt joked.
Having first traveled to China with then U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1972, and later working with Dr. Henry Kissinger, Platt participated in setting up the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing in 1973. As a veteran diplomat, he had also served in Canada and Japan,and was the former U.S. ambassador to several Asian and African countries, including the Philippines,Pakistan, and Zambia. He is also a board member of the Friends of China Heritage Fund, Chair of the U.S.-China Education Trust Advisory Board, and the senior advisor on China programs for the Philadelphia Orchestra. In March 2010, His memoir China Boys was published, which offers a close-up view of the U.S.opening to China and the early days of the China-U.S.relations.
Having served the U.S. government as a foreign diplomat for 34 years and 12 years for the Asia Society,Platt has been a diligent observer and participant of the four decades of China-U.S. relations. Owing to his special contribution to China-U.S. relations and his close contacts with China, Platt has been awarded the 5th Award for Distinguished Contribution to China Studies,which he felt deeply honored to receive.
1.2.1 文献资料法 分别以“体质”“健康”“大数据”为主题检索近10年核心期刊论文、硕博论文近100篇，其中大数据与体质健康方面的研究颇少，因此，结合实际，运用大数据的思维开展体质健康研究具有一定意义。
Dynamic Cultural Exchanges
“We can survive these pressures. The future will be determined by the next generation of our two peoples.”
“At the beginning, communication between Washington and Beijing worked like a simple, single line tactical field telephone, with Dr. Kissinger talking at one end and Zhou Enlai answering at the other. Now,contact between us more resembles a huge fiber optic cable with millions of messages going in both directions, most of which neither government sees,” Platt observed.
Over the past 25 years, most of Platt's work has concentrated on the people-to-people exchanges that have come to form the foundation of China-U.S. ties. Over the years, these relations, once tiny and barely existent,have become so huge that they have assumed major strategic significance. Trade, investment, travel, sports,culture, science, and education have become regular agenda items in high-level strategic consultations between the two governments.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of China-U.S. diplomatic relations. Earlier this year, Platt accompanied the Philadelphia Orchestra on its annual China tour to participate in the celebratory activities. “I was worried that current tensions would poison our tour. They did not. I found that culture had escaped the controversies that were damaging other areas of our relations. Audiences filled up the concert halls in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin,Hangzhou, and Nanjing.”
再说枝。枝依着生部位分为背上、斜生、平生、背下4种，修剪时以留斜生枝与平生枝为好。对于背上枝，若有空间也可适当利用，15年生以上树要注意选留、培养部分背上枝，以利枝组更新，从而达到树老枝不老的目的，始终让“年轻人”干活。根据结果枝长度分为长果枝（15 cm 以上）、中果枝（5～15 cm）、短果枝（5 cm以下），以中、长果枝结果为好，自然下垂、果形高桩。果台枝是优质的结果枝，果台枝连年缓放可培养成珠帘状下垂枝组。
Platt explained, “Our relationship resembles an iceberg, with the jagged edges of strategic mistrust clearly visible above the surface. But below the waterline is a big mass of private relationships maintained by tactical trust that provide stability.”
“Culture and sports have long been purposeful elements in Chinese and American diplomacy. Remember the Chinese invitation to the U.S. ping pong team to visit China in 1971, a prelude to the diplomatic breakthrough between U.S. President Nixon and China's Chairman Mao, and an important signal of Chinese willingness to come together with the U.S.against the backdrop of hostility with the USSR.” Platt continued, “Remember that the first China tour of the Philadelphia Orchestra in September 1973 revolutionized Chinese perceptions of Western music and ushered in a lasting and dynamic relationship that continues to this day.”
研究结果表明，以小檗碱和生物总碱为指标，兴隆小檗药材质量最好，其次是野鸡河，再次是足纳。小坝产小檗药材无论是根、根皮及茎皮，小檗碱和生物总碱的含量均最低，具体原因尚需进一步研究。小檗药材在毕节市分布广，数量大，具有很高的开发利用价值。兴隆是小檗栽培的最适宜种植区，小坝不适合小檗的栽培。

梓轩是个男孩子，说起话来没必要那么绕弯。我们在很短的时间内就愉快地结束了谈心。梓轩说：“老师，您这么一说，我还真觉得我和小雨就是相互欣赏。您放心，从今以后我会把全部精力用在学习上，给同学们做最好的榜样！”
“Holding on to Each Other”
In recent years, there have been some anxieties and suspicions in the United States regarding China's rise as a threat. While for Platt, who has a long view of the arc of the bilateral relationship, China and the U.S. have spent decades together, both competing and cooperating. “China also benefits from this competitive relationship. It is unavoidable for the world's two biggest economies to cross the current turbulence, and we can work it out eventually.”
“U.S.-China relations have experienced numerous ups and downs over the past four decades, and we have seen a growing China in search of its status on the global arena. We all know it is a natural thing and we welcome it. It is quite natural for a country as big as China that is growing as fast as China to attract lots of the world's attention,” Platt accentuated.
“The long arc of my historical perspective gives me confidence for the future. We have been competing and cooperating for decades and will continue to do so in the future. Interdependence is complicated and not very comfortable, breeding new problems every step of the way. But it is vibrantly alive, a force in its own right,”Platt said.
Platt cited the former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, who said that the safest place in the boxing ring is in a clinch, where the opponents are holding on to each other, so closely entwined that they cannot inflict serious damage on one another. “We should work to keep it that way.”
When discussing the future cooperative opportunities, Platt said that both the U.S. and China are big nations. They need to collaborate on solving some global issues, such as the climate change. “U.S.-China relations have exerted a huge impact on the world, and the two nations have to keep in touch.”
“We have no choice but to press ahead with the focus on practical solutions rather than ideological pronouncements. We must learn to solve the contradictory problems between us, to pursue the common interests of our two peoples, and the co-evolution of both societies.”
Having experienced the ups and downs of China-U.S.relations many times, he thinks the current turbulence is all about how China and the U. S. should deal with each other in the new era, and he is confident that both countries can work it out. Platt concluded, “We can survive these pressures. The future will be determined by the next generation of our two peoples.”
