China Visit a Test to Kerry’s ‘gentle’ Side

US Secretary of State John Kerry visits China today. The media has been talking for a while about the new US top diplomat's moderate style and familiarity with the thrust and parry of diplomacy. The new US diplomatic team will be put to the test during its contact with the new Chinese leadership.
Outcomes: 
The development of Sino-US relations will have a major impact on the international relations in the 21st century. The key is whether the strategic mistrust between the two can be reined in or even dissolved.
