dr. wu is focus said on china/american security relationship and arms control and nuclear deterrent issues very relevant in the middle east as we speak right now. immediately to her right is rudy deleon senior fellow here at the national security team at cap. he's been at cap since 2007. many of you know rudy well. former deputy secretary of defense for the united states. he has been very deeply engaged in u.s./china relations. among the people here he probably splits his time between the middle east and china more than anyone else. he is perfectly suited for this job today. immediately to his dr. is senior fellow shanghai institute for national studies. and looking at the middle east. and finally ryan is senior fellow here and runs the middle east program at the center for american progress. well-known to many of you. and he focuses on the middle east and south asia. this is his opportunity to get exposure to china and think about how the two major powers could potentially cooperate in the

yang jiemian and dr. wu chunsi. they have both managed to get to washington despite a typhoon that disrupted all air operations out of shanghai. so we're extremely happy you're here safe and sound. we hope the jet lag won't keep you from raising strong arguments and lively discussions this morning. back in february 2014, the china u.s. exchange foundation and the shanghai institute for international studies issued a new report on a new model for major power relations. it stressed it needed to be more than building trust and avoiding conflict. they needed to look at forward-looking actions and cooperations to tackle joint problems like counterterrorism and climate change. at a private dinner following that launch of that report, some months before i joined, i hear a lively discussion taking place on the middle east. they discussed whether the u.s. and china could proactively coordinate smart policy on a range of common areas from energy security to countering violent extremism. it seems clear there were common intere

yang and then dr. wu. >> thank you. this is a very good question.hina hopes that the emerging and the worsening of the isis -- they have a lot of other names -- the extremism and the terrorism is a great challenge to the whole international community. and we think we should not only tackle with the symptoms but also the root causes which could be traced into the local development, domestic politics stagnation of economics and religious sectarianism, et cetera. so this is a real new challenge to the world, to the united states, to china and others. secondly this is even more serious challenge than, let's say, 9/11 or the others because in the year 2001, these terrorists were still dispersed. and also intangible. but now they even created the so-called state. they are there. and they inserted a great turbulence chaos, anti-humanities, et cetera and this should never be allowed. this is why china and the united states and other countries joined our efforts in condemning the isis. however, because china and the united states have different practices. fo

so i think i better to stop here and dr. wu -- >> i just want to add maybe a few points. the first of all is that i think there might be many reasons for the rising of the terrorism and extremism. but a very important reason is that the balance of power, the original balance of power in the middle east to some degree is broken and now we need to in a little bit resume that regional order or kind of system. but it consumes time. the united states and other countries can make efforts toward that direction but it is very important that for the regional countries in the middle east, for their development. so to some degree we still need some patience in that kind of process. and the second thing i want to say is that the countries like china and the united states, really need to strengthen our cooperation, especially i think on that kind of border -- border protection, that kind of thing, that kind of issues. and also i think the countries need to -- major powers outside of the region need to create some kind of atmosphere for the region to stabilize their relationship and al
