Starting with the establishment of diplomat- ic relations between the U.S. and China in 1979, the two nations have witnessed many important achievements in such key fields as energy, agricul- tural S&T, and wireless communications technol- ogy. Looking into the future, based on the evolving patterns of S&T development in both countries, it seems clear that the two nations have many poten- tial opportunities for deepening as well as expand-ing their bilateral cooperation and collaboration. Moreover, with ample consultation and coordina- tion, the two nations could form a truly unique strategic win-win partnership: American compa- nies operating in China could further enhance the rate of return on their investments, while China could continue to energize its S&T development and accelerate its industrial upgrading. More im- portantly, enhanced S&T cooperation between the two nations could help both countries reach a use- ful consensus on a series of critical global issues including renewable energy, food security, climate change and healthcare – thus fostering a more pos- itive sum, collaborative approach to international agenda setting. Clearly, there continue to be many problems and hurdles that plague U.S.-China S&T cooperation, including disputes over intellectual property rights, export control restrictions, trade barriers and most recently, information security. Amelioration of these problems will require noth- ing less than continuous bilateral engagement, ne- gotiation and dialogue at the highest levels of both governments.
