US must 'learn from history'

Former US ambassador to China James Sasser believes his country should create more space for China.

"I think the United States needs to learn from history," he said.

The conflict between Germany on one side, and Britain and France on another during World War I nearly a century ago was due to the fact that the "British wouldn't make room for Germany's rising power, and the French did not want to acknowledge (Germany's) rising power," Sasser said.
