US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice left Beijing calling US-Sino relations positive and reiterating Washington's view that China is not a threat.

Despite rows over Chinese textile exports, the surging US trade deficit with China and the Chinese currency's inflexibility, Rice, who is on a four-nation Asian tour that takes her next to Thailand, said relations were "complex" but good.

"There are many extremely positive elements. I still think that this relationship has a great momentum. It still has more positives than negatives," Rice told a news briefing after meeting Chinese leaders.

At the same time, Rice said she raised concerns over over China's military development. "(But) this does not mean that we view China as a threat,' she said Sunday.

Still, tensions with Taiwan remain a worry, Rice said, urging Beijing to reach out to the Taiwan authorities.

In response, Chinese President Hu Jintao told Rice Beijing was determined to improve cross-strait relations, but also urged Washington to remain vigilant for "secessionist" forces pushing for independence, the Xinhua news agency reported.
