Chen Weihua is the Chief Washington Correspondent of China Daily and Deputy Editor of China Daily USA. He has a particular focus on US politics and US-China relations.
Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the US presidential election, has been busy talking about national security by mostly mocking her Republican rival Donald Trump in a manner akin to late-night talk show hosts.
It should not be. Yet an unhealthy geopolitical mindset has prevented China-US relations from achieving their full potential, which if realized would benefit the two peoples and the world.
Remember the panic caused in the US when a small amateur drone crash landed last October on the lawn outside the White House?
With the US government now refusing to engage directly with the DPRK, Trump's words have made major headlines in the United States.

As a close observer of several US presidential elections, I have found the 2016 race bemusing in both predictable and unpredictable ways.
It is not unusual for senior US officials to throw jabs at China in their public speeches while traveling abroad.
In that speech, Obama said" I have come here to bury the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas."
