China-U.S. Relations： From ＂Standing Firm on the Ground at 30＂ to ＂Not Suffering from Perplexity at 40＂

Chinese philosopher Confucius once said that ＂at 30 I stood firm upon the ground, at 40 I no longer suffer from perplexity＂. Confucius＇ words prove that the current 30-year-old relations between China and the United States is basically standing firm on the ground. However, this relationship is by no means free from perplexities since there remain problems and troubles that might perplex its further development. In the next decade or even next 30 years, the two countries should make it their objective to push forward their relations from the current stage of firm-standing to a perplexity-free stage.
