US and China will together defy history:
The US and China together would ``defy history'' of clashes between a predominant and rising power, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today, stressing that she is in favour of a healthy rule-based competition between the two countries.
China has asked the United States on Tuesday to work on improving bilateral relations, which were affected due to an announced arms sale to Taiwan and a recent meeting of President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama.
