US urges growing China to be 'responsible player': "The United States Monday urged China to be a 'responsible player' as its global influence grows and stressed its commitment to Asia after security talks with Australia during a regional diplomatic push.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made the comment after meeting Australian officials alongside US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, in talks which produced an agreement to cooperate on security surveillance in outer space.
Clinton, who is nearing the end of a comprehensive Asian tour, said the United States had a 'very robust dialogue with China', calling for the emerging giant to use its newfound power responsibly."
