Intro:
Hello, I am Yang Rui reporting live from Beijing. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wraps up her inaugural trip to Asia on Sunday. This high-profile tour of the US top diplomat has aroused extensive debates about the shift of US diplomacy from Europe to Asia.
The arrangement of this listening journey embraces a carefully crafted centerpiece of consolidating the US traditional alliance with Japan, and, above all, to cultivate a new and nice image of the sole superpower in the eyes of 1.3 billion Muslims.
Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, the biggest Muslim country and the most successful Islamic democratic country in the world, says Muslims can go hand an d hand with modernity.
China is widely quoted as being the heart of the whole maiden voyage of Clinton although Beijing is the last stop of Clinton's sweeping tour of Asia. The two governments vow to cross the river in the same boat at a difficult moment. What does that mean?
