Summary: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers her first major foreign policy speech on the eve of her first visit to Asia as a member of the Cabinet.

In her first major foreign policy speech, made on the eve of a four-nation tour of Asia, with visits to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and China, Secretary Clinton said that the U.S. will resume mid-level military-to-military discussions with China. The talks were suspended by Beijing last year after U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

"It is in our interest to work harder to build on areas of common concern and shared opportunities," said Clinton.

"Even with our differences, the United States will remain committed to pursuing a positive relationship with China, one that is essential to America's peace, progress and prosperity."

I hope this isn't just political mouthing off and that the Obama administration will actually get the ball rolling on making this country a more sustainable place to live. Modernizing the electric grid should be priority number one in my opinion.
