HARMONY DIPLOMACY VS SMART DIPLOMACY

Dear Jim,

You and I are friends from way back. So I will openly discuss with you on the latest Google and
Hilary Clinton "Smart Diplomacy" move. We both know that it is orchestrated by the State
Department. The latest begins with Clinton's dinner with CEO of Google, Intel, Microsoft and
others. That is why Google launched”May be Google will withdraw from China because China
hacking" next day. Regardless whether Google or the Chinese government is in the right, Google
is most loyal to the Obama Administration compares to Intel and Microsoft. It is understandable,
because Google is the biggest corporate supporter and has enjoyed the most recognition from
the American government.

I am concerned that the aggressiveness of the Smart Diplomacy carried out by Clinton and the
U.S. Embassy in China may appear to be smart by attacking China's basic values but may
backfire. Smart Diplomacy is misleading and implies that America will resort to any means to
achieve our national goals. By appearing to be too aggressive it will unite China and large parts
of the developing world behind China. Many including you may see through the current move as
self motivated, even you the highly regarded American patriot.

As the highly esteemed National Correspondent of Atlantic Monthly just returned from China you
know the Chinese Government is powerful and have a lot of resources and good will these days.
New China has come a long way since her three decades of reform and opening up. They are
also serious about opening the Internet for the bottom up feed back for more citizen participation
in public affairs (see John Naisbitt book "China's Megatrends"). Without going into detail at this
writing, this whole smart diplomacy gamble should have been much lower key so the Chinese
government will be willing to work with the U.S..

I have started a series of articles under the titles "Message to President Obama on Harmony
Renaissance", "Message to President Obama on Harmony Diplomacy" etc. They are widely
circulated through blogsites and social websites. I know for a fact Obama's staff has picked up
some of my articles through Tweeter. I have a lot of written material yet on soft power that can
help Obama gain more traction to override the State Department with his version of Harmony
Diplomacy. I believe "Harmony Diplomacy is the Golden Rule for Global Governance".

I plan to launch a new series of "Messages to President Obama" to persuade America to tone
down this "Internet Freedom" attack on China and resort to Harmony Diplomacy. The only win-
win way to work with China is through Harmony Diplomacy. China's dignity was hurt during the
last cold war. It does not help any body by repeating it. Under this relentless attack from the U.S.
government and media, China will skillfully counter America with her powerful media on what she
likely will consider as U.S. "Internet Hegemony" and "Information Imperialism". Most Chinese
today have looked away from the last cold war when America was regarded as an imperialistic
hegemony power. Let us not bring the cold war back.

We have lost so much soft power in the last decade. "Internet Power", the new found power
is our last frontier. We need to use this "Internet Power" wisely and sparingly. At the end we may
not be able to dominate the Internet space forever. We may soon need to share "Internet Power"
with China and India.

If Clinton come on too strong with her gamble, it is hard to predict whom the rest of the
developing world will side with. You know we are loosing ground on our "Human Rights" thrust in
U.N. U.N., for what ever we think, will continue to play an important role in shaping
world harmony whether America likes it or not. So America media may want to stop bashing Ban
Ki-Moon also. Ban said "I only want to work on U.N. harmony." See my personal story in my
response to "Asian Values and U.N. Principles", available on Tweeter or
www.scribd.com/fcwfung.

Call me to brain storm. You have my phone number. I am afraid Clinton is too over
confident because she thinks that she has a winning hand. Let me share with you what Laotzu
said about soft power.” The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying
to”, “Water the soft can bore a hole through the hardest rock” and “Water the soft can sink or float
the mightiest ship”. I know China will take the long view. I like to prepare President Obama to
come out to play the good guy with his version of Harmony Diplomacy.
