2.

Brzezinski
attracted
worldwide
attention
by
elaborating
his
G-2
idea
with
an
article
in
the
Financial Times entitled
3.

He thinks that Barack Obama is a conciliator at heart. [Para 16]
4.

For the idea of G-2 to work, the US has to adjust fundamentally foreign policy it has followed
since the end of Word War II, away from neo-imperialism toward Wilsonian/FDR liberalism,
and give up its aim of peaceful evolution of Chinese society towards market capitalism. A G-2
would have to be a leading force in building a new world order of social justice and economic
equity. [Para 27]
5.

Mao's
vision
of
US- China
relations
transcends
fleeting
geopolitical
tactics
of

III. Text Comprehension
Answer the following questions according to the text.
1.

Because there was no official counterpart observation in the US. [Para 3]
2.

Brzezinski
thinks
China
could
help
the
US
find
solutions
to
the
problems
like
the
global
financial
crisis,
the challenges
of
climate
change,
North
Korea
and
Iran
nuclear
ambitions,
India and Pakistan tension and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [Para 6]
3.

According
to
Brzezinski,
it
precipitated
almost
from
the
start security co-operation
that
has
been of genuine benefit both to the US and China. The effect was to change the Cold War's
global
chessboard
-
to
the
disadvantage
of
the
Soviet
Union.
Indirectly,
the
normalization
facilitated
Chairman
Deng
Xiaoping's
decision
to
undertake
a
comprehensive
economic
reform. China's growth would have been much harder without the expansion in US-Chinese
trade and financial relations that followed normalization.
4.

It
describes
the
relationship
as
one
of

interdependence
in
which
both
sides
evaluate each other in pragmatic and moderate terms and in which
and consult within existing international rules
unending US provocation and hostility on a compliant China. [Para 9]
5.

China should adopt a full employment objective and an income policy financed by sovereign
credit in order to develop a vibrant domestic market that would absorb the sharp shrinkage of
its export sector resulting from the global financial crisis. The way for China to use sovereign
credit to finance domestic economic development is to free China from dollar hegemony by
demanding settlement of its export trade to be denominated in yuan. [Para 10]
6.

According
to
Brzezinski,
if
both
sides
at
all
times
keep
in
mind
the
centrality
of
their
interdependence, they will be able to cope with other contentious issues.
7.

They are mainly about listing Brzezinski’s ideas on forming G2. Specifically, Para 11 is about
China’s revisionist power

and “the
US-
China’s common perspectives” which are helpful in
forming G2; Para 12 analyses the Chinese own view or stand toward the idea of revisionist
power. Para 13-16 are about his views on the fields in which the US and China can cooperate.
8.

US
national
interests
globally
would
be
better served
by
a strategy
of
making
friends with
China
by
sharing
power
globally
because
eventually
the
US
will
need
the
support
of
the
world's
most
populous
country
to
preserve
and
shore
up
its
own
global
dominance.
By
contrast, conflicts with China will drain
US capacity to maintain
its global dominance. [Para
18]
9.

Brzezinski, the grand master of geopolitical chess, plots his strategy several moves ahead of
the
game.
Geopolitical
pluralism
must
first
be
promoted
to
defuse
challenges
to
US
superpower,
followed
by
encouraging
compatible
key
partners
to
cooperate
under
US
leadership,
and
finally
the
pragmatic
sharing
of
global
geopolitical
responsibility
can
be
rewarded with a sharing of power. The twin poles of this strategy are a united Europe in the
West
and
strong
China
in
the
East; with
the
problematic central
regions stabilized
within
a
new balance of power. [Para 20]
10.

The US, in view of the self-inflicted damage to its freewheeling market economy that can be
expected to leave the country in a protracted depression, will need a trade partner with high
growth
potential
to
absorb
its
overcapacity.
China
emerges
in
the
21st century
as
the
ideal
