This conference report summarizes the key findings of the 12th US-China Dialogue in 2012 on security-related issues. There was general agreement that both governments have sought to emphasize the importance of finding common ground and reducing the influence of the more nationalist voices in both countries. There is an urgent need to address the trust deficit between the US and China and to build a new great power relationship by improving transparency, reducing suspicions and emphasizing areas of common interests.
