China, US interrelated, analysts say

Prosperity of one means other gains access to larger consumer market

"China's prosperity means a larger consumer market for US goods, and there's nothing fundamentally contradictory in both succeeding," said David Firestein, executive director of the China Public Policy Center of the University of Texas at Austin.
