Orville Schell, director of the Arthur Ross Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York, said the Chen case speaks to a “new kind of maturity” in the ability of the U.S. and China to resolve problems. “The two sides did actually work this out in a mature, hard-nosed way with a minimum of rhetoric and blame,” he said, adding that both realized “they were stuck with a common problem and both had an interest in dealing with it.”
