Xi Jinping, the President of China, recently expressed his willingness to work together with the United States to address global challenges. He made this statement during an annual dinner hosted by the National Committee on United States-China Relations.
Xi emphasized that the way the two countries get along would be crucial to the world. He proposed that the relationship between the United States and China should be based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and win-win cooperation.
In the upcoming weeks, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is scheduled to visit Washington DC, which is seen as a major step towards a possible meeting between the US President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in November.
Previously, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior US officials have already visited Beijing and discussed several issues such as trade, Taiwan, and the South China Sea. The US has made it a priority to ensure that the competition between the world’s two biggest economies does not lead to conflict.
The Global Times commented that the visit by Wang Yi would lay the groundwork for a possible meeting between the two nations’ leaders. However, the Global Times also noted that Washington should make concrete efforts to address China’s concerns and show its sincerity.
The Chinese and US governments have established a series of dialogues and negotiations to improve their relations. In particular, the 2020 US-China Strategic Economic Dialogue was held in Shanghai in December 2020 and discussed a wide range of topics such as trade, investment, innovation, and health.
It is hoped that the USA and China will be able to reach an agreement that benefits both countries. Such an agreement would be beneficial for the world, as the two countries are major economic powers and have the potential to shape the global economy.
Despite the differences between the two countries, it is important to note that the United States and China are not adversaries. They are both committed to the advancement of global peace and development.
It is encouraging to hear that both sides are open to dialogue and engagement. It is hoped that the two countries will be able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement that will benefit the world. With the right approach, the US and China can move forward towards a brighter future.
