I suggest the US government officials read two books on I Ching:
The Wisdom of I Ching: www.amazon.com/dp/B00P592KAY
I Ching Codes Predicting the Future: www.amazon.com/dp/B00KRPT8G0
I Ching is an ancient Chinese philosophy book, which can be used to predict the future. During the past several thousand years, I Ching's predictioin method has been proved correct. So it is necessary for US government officials to learn I Ching to make forecast about future developments of US and the world.
Besides, I Ching is the source of Chinese culture, just as the Bible is the source of world culture. So if US government officials understand I Ching, they will understand Chinese culture. Therefore, they will be able to promote the relations between the US and China.
