For decades, the United States has reserved the term "special relationship" for two countries, Britain and Israel, but Secretary of State John Kerry called for a new "special relationship" with China during his recent trip to Asia.
The U.S.-UK "special relationship" has been a hallmark of bilateral relations for decades. Kerry acknowledged it explicitly during his first trip abroad, which began in London, standing alongside British Foreign Secretary William Hague.
"When you think of everything that binds the United States and Great Britain -- our common values, our long shared history, our ties of family, in my case, personal and friendship -- there is a reason why we call this a special relationship, or as President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron wrote, really, a partnership of the heart. It is that," Kerry said on Feb. 25.

Kerry again noted the U.S.-UK special relationship in an April 8 statement expressing condolences for the death of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
"We celebrate especially the way, with a hand outstretched across the Atlantic, Lady Thatcher strengthened the Special Relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom -- a relationship that remains a driving force for freedom, justice, and democracy," Kerry said.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted that the U.S. and Israel also have a "special relationship" on his way there April 21.
"I'm going to Israel first because it is a nation that has had a very special relationship with the United States," Hagel said.
But Asia hands were taken aback when Kerry used the term to call for a "special relationship" with China during an April 13 solo press availability in Beijing.
"I do think that today's visit makes it clear that the United States wants a strong, normal, but special relationship with China, and that's a special -- because China is a great power with a great ability to affect events in the world. And we need to work together to do that," Kerry said.
Robert Zarate, policy director at the Foreign Policy Initiative, told The Cable that Kerry may not have realized that he was diluting the exclusivity of the term "special relationship," but that Kerry's overall tone reveals how he wants to position the United States vis--vis Asia's greatest rising power.
"By using that term ‘special relationship' to describe his hopes for the U.S.-China relationship's future, I think Secretary Kerry is, consciously or not, expressing the Obama administration's strong desire to accommodate China's great-power rise -- but, as America's allies and partners in Asia will tell you privately, that's a very, very problematic desire," he said.
The Cable also found an instance during the trip when Kerry called the U.S.-Japan relationship "special," although he was at that time referencing the gift of American dogwood trees to Japan in acknowledgment of Japan's gift of cherry blossom trees 100 years prior.
"At this point, the United States has a ‘special relationship' with two countries: the United Kingdom and Israel," Zarate said. "The next country we might want to add to that very short list is potentially Japan, but China, for very obvious reasons, shouldn't even be online for that list yet."
但是有线频道也发现在行程期间克里称呼美日关系"特殊"的一个例子,虽然在那时他是针对美国以山茱萸为礼物感谢100年前日本赠送的樱花树.
扎拉特说:"此刻,美国与两个国家有"特殊关系":英国和以色列,我们可能想添加到这个很短的清单上的下一个潜在的国家是日本,但是中国,有显尔易见的理由,实际上不应该与这个清单有任何关联."

Brilliant.
The day largest Chinese naval flotilla "ever" breached into Senkakus near Japan, and a contingent of Chinese troops encamped near Ladakh, 10 KMs within India, both ongoing crisis, Kerry sends message to US allies by courting China. Well done, horseface...well done!
Also, not a single word in any US mainstream media about the ongoing Sino-Indian border crisis and military maneuvers.

dailyworldwatch Certainly, China is "on the move" and Kerry wants to be on "the winning side." BTW, do you have a link for that info. I know I can probably find it, but you can save me a little time. Thanks.

As of "winning side", Chamberlain thought that too...before second world war.

Special relationship ? Are we not already there ? With America as supplicant ? We are already in the position where if China says jump we ask how high. How much more special is that ?

Special relationship? After the 200 years of humiliation, China isn't interested in anything more than being treated like an equal by a country that plays no small role in the humiliation narrative.
Our other "special" friends are allies with whom we share the most closely guarded secrets of the nation. No way China would ever get that type of access. We are afraid of Huawei yet willing to embrace Beijing? Not likely.

Good idea, Mr. Catsup.
Only in office a couple of months and making Hillary look good
What a Bozo.
Look the other way as the Chi Coms, steal our technology, manipulate their currency, condone piracy of many American products, etc.
Communist China does whats right for Communist China.
Under Odumbo, the USA wants to be loved by everyone and in doing so is respected by few.
We are weak, appeasing paper tiger.
Go screw yourself you purple heart fraud.

rippsaw207 Cant help but smile on that one. Mr Catsup. Nothing is more disgusting than a gold digger.
帮不上忙,但对那个人微笑一下, Catsup先生,没啥事比一个淘金者更令人厌恶.

Transcripts of meeting
Chinese minisiter: Mr Kerry we like California very much but since we ignor copy rights here in china we will have problems doing the same in California.
John Kerry: I can assure you will have no problems with the Courts in California. Our judges in California have been accepting bribes for many years and we even went as far as granting them Amnesty from Prosecution for accepting money that was NOT authorized by law under Senate Bill SBX211 Section 5.
Chinese Minister: That sounds great Mr. Kerry but we still have the problem of wages. here in china we can make them work for very little compensation.
John Kerry: As you know California is bordering Mexico and getting illegals to work for very low wages will not be an obstical. And furthermore with the National debt and idividual state debt so high the future will yield a vast amounts of slave labor.
