Aloha, China and Japan!

Morton Abramowitz, The Century Foundation | February 20, 2009

Leaders of the three largest economies should meet up in Hawaii. ++ There has never before been a summit for the US, Japan and China, but the time has come. ++ Japan needs to break its political marginalization towards China, Americans must stop trying to divide Asia, and China is ready to take its place on the world stage. ++ In this crisis, nationalistic tendencies must be resisted. ++ Take care not to insult India, and keep the main negotiations inside the G-20, but do engage these two, or things might "change" in ways no-one wanted.
