Sooner or later, the former real estate mogul will, as his predecessors have done, be aware of the strategic significance of an amicable, or at least constructive, China policy, and turn to engage with Beijing in pragmatic cooperation instead of unwanted provocation, although disputes are barely ineluctable for any economies with such highly intertwined interests.

More noteworthy is the fact that cooperation is the only choice for China and the United States. It would be an unaffordable adversity to all human beings if the two countries, whose global interests and influences are incomparable, tend to meet their differences with qualm and enmity in the first place.

As the clock ticking for the presidential power transfer in 2017, it remains imperative for the outgoing administration and incoming White House occupant to weigh up the importance of China-U.S. cooperation for the latter's global interests, and make decisions based on sensible judgements.

It depends on Trump to make his China policy an asset rather than liability for his administration. But first, he is expected to abide by his promise to strengthen U.S.-China cooperation for win-win results when receiving the congratulatory call from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

That demands his aspiration to extend put-oneself-in-others-shoes empathy and engage in clear-the-air communications with China.
