[标题]：克林顿的海外之旅确定亚洲的优先地位
翻译：
希拉里克林顿竞选总统期间表示中国与华盛顿之间的关系是最为重要的。
作为国务卿，她着手将中国摆在首要地位，将其首次海外之旅的目的地设在中国和其他三个亚洲国家，打破了国务卿首次出访都以欧洲为首站的传统。
位于北京的东道主期望与克林顿女士讨论经济，安全和环境问题，其中包括中国队全球经济危机地反映，及其在朝核问题上所起的角色。
华府官员没有计划在亚洲政策上有巨大的变动，但亚洲专家看到克林顿女士访华期间推进中美关系的机遇。
这其中包括，恢复去年布什政府通过的新对台军售后，北京冻结的双方军事对话。
美国和中国同时也期望构建应对全球变暖和其他环境问题的构架。据悉，克林顿女士可能会根据宣布在中国建立绿色工程基金，如环境友好建筑。
克林顿女士可能以布什政府对华关系基础上处理对华事务。布什统治时期，美国与北京达成了两条正式承诺：基于安全问题的“高级对话”和由前财政部长牵头的“经济战略对话”
克林顿女士表示，奥巴马政府于将寻求“更广泛的途径”处理与北京的关系，但没有具体说明哪些问题。中国分析家表示这些评论使北京领导人不满，北京领导人担心其中发出的美国更加关注中国人权，西藏和北京政府支持缅甸和苏丹独裁政府等问题的关注。
贸易问题是一个前瞻的焦点，总统竞选期间，奥巴马对中国一些贸易政策提出批评，且其财长指责中国操纵货币。
中国官方看上去像对奥巴马政府中操纵中国政策的人感兴趣。
克林顿女士的中国之行引发她计划在视察中美关系中起带头作用的猜想。一些美国官员表示副总统乔拜登似乎也打算扮演此角色。
克林顿女士亚洲之行期间将要求找推进中美关系和保障华府传统盟友并受其保护的日本和韩国之间的平衡点。东京和首尔是其从本周六开始的七天亚洲之行的首站，

Clinton's Overseas Trip Asserts Asia as Priority By JAY SOLOMON in Washington and IAN JOHNSON in Beijing
During Hillary Clinton's failed presidential run, she cited the China relationship as Washington's most important.
As secretary of state, she is moving to establish China as a priority, making her first trip abroad to China and three other Asian nations. It's a break with the tradition among secretaries of state of visiting Europe first.
 European Pressphoto Agency U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at a press conference at the State Department on Feb. 5.
In Beijing, Mrs. Clinton is expected to discuss a gamut of economic, security and environmental issues with her hosts, including China's response to the global financial crisis and its role in curbing North Korea's nuclear program.
While officials in Washington don't plan dramatic shifts in Asia policy, Asia experts see opportunities for advancing U.S.-China relations during Mrs. Clinton's Beijing trip.
Among them is resuming military-to-military talks frozen by Beijing last year after the Bush administration approved new arms sales to Taiwan.
The U.S. and China are also expected to outline a joint strategy to address global warming and other environmental issues. Mrs. Clinton may announce U.S. funding of green projects in China, such as environmentally friendly buildings, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Mrs. Clinton is expected to build on the Bush administration's foundations in dealing with China. Under President Bush, the U.S. established two formal engagement channels with Beijing -- the "senior dialogue" focused on security issues and a "strategic economic dialogue" led by former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
Mrs. Clinton has said the Obama administration will seek "a more comprehensive approach" to engaging Beijing, without specifying the issues to be addressed. China analysts said these comments have piqued the interest of Chinese leaders who fear they could signal more U.S. attention to Chinese human rights, Tibet and Beijing's support for dictatorial governments in Myanmar and Sudan.
Trade is another potential flash point. During the campaign, President Barack Obama was critical of some Chinese trade practices, and his treasury secretary has accused China of manipulating its currency.
Chinese officials are seen as interested in learning who in the Obama administration will be driving China policy.
Mrs. Clinton's trip to China is also stoking speculation that she intends to take the lead in overseeing U.S.-China relations. Some U.S. officials have said Vice President Joe Biden could also emerge as the official to take that role.
Mrs. Clinton will need to balance the advancement of U.S.-China relations during her trip with reassuring Washington's traditional Asian allies, Japan and South Korea, that their interests are being protected by Washington. Tokyo and Seoul are her first stops on the seven-day trip, which starts Sunday. |
