US policy in Asia-Pacific won't change

Obama administration welcomes 'China's rise': policy adviser says

A senior policy adviser in the US State Department said on Tuesday that US President Barack Obama's policy toward China and the Asia-Pacific region will remain unchanged over the next four years.
