WHEN meeting with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in the Peruvian capital of Lima, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated China’s commitment to maintaining the steady development of China-US relations.
China’s goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship remains unchanged; its commitment to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and winwin cooperation as principles for handling China-US relations remains unchanged; its position of resolutely safeguarding China’s sovereignty, security and development interests remains unchanged; and its desire to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American peoples remains unchanged, Xi told Biden.
These statements clearly reflect China’s longstanding approach to its relationship with the United States, underscoring its commitment to boosting dialogue and cooperation, and managing differences.
Competition between major countries does not conform to the trend of the times. Nor is it a solution to America’s domestic problems or the urgent challenges facing the world. As nations worldwide are struggling to cope with numerous global crises, there is an increasing expectation for a stable and constructive China-US relationship.
China and the United States should rise above their differences and advance dialogue and cooperation, not only for their shared interests, but also to make a meaningful contribution to global peace, stability and prosperity.
