Re: In a phone call with Bush, Chinese President Jiang Zemin offered to join Bush's proposed war on terrorism, state media said on Thursday.
But China and the United States remain deeply divided over definitions of terrorism, military intervention overseas and relations with nations identified by the United States as "state sponsors of terrorism."
China has close ties with North Korea, Iraq, Libya and Sudan, accused by Washington of sponsoring terrorism.
Don't have much time... The China-US relationship will be crucial in the coming months... The Chinese must be VERY angry about the prospects for the global economy. I mean, China absolutely needed the US outlets to sustain its 7-8% annual growth rate... They got admitted to the WTO? Fine... Nice booby-prize, LOL! Perhaps, an unexpected by-product of the terrorist attack will be a closer "win-win" co-operation between the US and China (the 2008 Olympics Game are looming)
