**This picture and caption of Raul Castro and Yang Jiechi convey the cordial greetings of each country and express there hope that each country would support the other in bilateral and international affairs. Yang said that "since the establishment of diplomatic ties 50 years ago, bilateral relations have withstood the tests of the changing international situation". I chose this picture because of the caual handshake between Raul and Yeng and how much respect that each has for the other, and how China has reached out to Cuba, definitely a country of lesser power, and created a bilateral relationship across the world.** **Since China joined the WTO in 2001(how ironic)its economic growth domestically and internationally have increased tremendously, including its trade with the US. In fact, the exports from China to the US have doubled going from $102 billion to $243.5 billion dollars between 2001-2005. I chose this article because of the importance international trade has become in China, without it China wouldn't be as strong as it is, supporting half of the entire world with bonds.**

 * In this document China recalls the 5 principles that South Africa and China agreed on 45 years ago and again 5 years ago. The principles are: sincere friendship, equality and soverignity, common development on the basis of mutual friendship, increased consultation and cooperation in international affairs, cooperation in the establishment of a newinternational political and economical order.

 * Bilateral trade with India has become the strongest stabilzer of China, with China's foreign trade reaching $1 trillion US dollars 5 years ago while India's foreign trade reached a mere $180 US billion. If the trends continue the China-India bilateral trade could become center stage for International trade affairs along with the US and China. **
 * [|Unlike most European influence, America has pushed the moral leadership of peace and organization through our unimpeachable government that is widely recognized and molded from.] **
 * Most new governments are based off of the US government by modeling our constitution. Obviously China is much older the United States of America, but it is a chaotic country with some effort to repair. They turn to Washington D.C., where it has been established around 200 years ago. I chose this little abstract because of the fact that it states that the US government has been unimpeachably correct not only in international affairs but in what is the right thing to do in certain situations. **
