US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will leave her post on Friday, has said that the United States wants to see a cooperative, comprehensive and positive relationship with China.

Clinton said that together, the two countries will defy history.

“Historically, a rising power and a predominant power have had clashes, whether they were economical or military. Neither of us wants to see that happen,” she told a global town hall forum in Washington on Tuesday, watched by students from around the world via satellite.

“We want to see a rising power like China join the international community as a responsible stakeholder, continue its extraordinary efforts to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, create a strong, vital middle-class and have respectful relations with its neighbors, in all of the ways on land and sea that is required,” she said.
