Base talks on mutual respect

Shared interests should override Sino-US differences over human rights and disputes should be resolved amicably

A new round of Sino-US dialogue on human rights is scheduled to be held in Washington on May 13-14.

The talks, to be chaired by Director-General of the Foreign Ministry's International Organization Chen Xu, and the US Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner, will be the first such session since May 2008.
