Pushing for Real Stabilization and Improvement in U.S.-China Relations
Recently, China and the United States have carried out a series of important high-level exchanges, renewed a new chapter in civil friendship, and shown some positive signs in their relations, which have been generally welcomed by all walks of life in the two countries and by the international community. The healthy and stable development of China-United States relations is not only in the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples, but also the common expectation of the international community. The two sides should adhere to the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and return to the consensus of the Bali meeting between the two heads of state, so as to promote the stabilization of China-U.S. relations and return to the track of healthy and stable development as soon as possible.
China-U.S. relations are the most important bilateral relationship in the world, and whether China and the U.S. can get along correctly has a bearing on the future destiny of mankind. 52 years ago, the leaders of the two countries made the right choice of China-U.S. cooperation with excellent strategic vision, and started the process of normalization of China-U.S. relations, which has benefited both countries as well as changed the world. The development of China-U.S. relations to the present day is a hard-won achievement that deserves to be cherished. At present, the world is experiencing a great change that has not been seen in a hundred years, and the international landscape is undergoing significant changes, so the world needs more than ever a generally stable China-US relationship. As former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger recently pointed out, peace and progress between China and the U.S. is in the interests of the two countries, as well as in the interests of the world as a whole.
Adhering to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation has been China's consistent policy towards the United States. China has always believed that the two countries should be partners rather than rivals, has always believed that China and the United States should benefit from each other rather than play a zero-sum game, and has always looked forward to stabilizing and improving China-U.S. relations rather than sliding into conflict and confrontation. China has always believed that we should go beyond the logic of competition and confrontation, take care of each other's interests and concerns, seek the largest common denominator of exchanges and cooperation, and draw the largest concentric circles of win-win cooperation.
History and reality have repeatedly proved that cooperation between China and the United States is the best choice for both countries. The two sides have worked together to fight terrorism, respond to the international financial crisis, fight Ebola, and lead the way to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and have accomplished great things for the benefit of the world through cooperation. In the face of increasing global challenges, the two sides should choose the right path of cooperation. Global economic recovery, addressing climate change, and resolving international and regional hotspot issues all require coordination and cooperation between China and the United States. It should be fully recognized that the wide planet can fully accommodate China and the United States in their respective development and common prosperity. China and the United States are the world's top two economies, with total economic output exceeding one-third of the world's total population, accounting for nearly one-fourth of the world's total population, and bilateral trade accounting for about one-fifth of the world's total trade volume, so the interests of both sides are very closely intertwined. The common interests between the two countries should be emphasized, and the success of each is an opportunity, not a threat, to the other.
The ups and downs in China-US relations in recent years are rooted in serious deviations in the US perception of China and its orientation towards China. Some people on the U.S. side hold a Cold War mentality and use the name of competition to carry out containment and suppression. This approach will only push China and the United States into confrontation and conflict, and the world into a "new cold war" of division and turmoil. China and the United States are two countries of such a large size, with different histories, cultures and social systems, it is difficult to avoid some differences and competition, but this does not prevent the two sides from cooperating on the basis of common interests, and should not be the reason for confrontation between China and the United States. Competition should not be used to define the entire China-US relationship, and the bottom line should be observed in the development of China-US relations. The one-China principle and the three joint communiqués of China and the United States are the most important political foundations of the relationship between the two countries, which must be removed from interference and effectively safeguarded.
The development of China-U.S. relations requires gathering the strength of all parties. The foundation of China-U.S. relations lies in the people, the hope lies in the people, the future lies in the youth, and the vitality lies in the localities. The Drumline story and the Drumline bond are alive and well; the U.S.-China Youth and Student Exchange Association in Washington State is committed to promoting mutual understanding between U.S. and Chinese youth; General Stilwell's family has been promoting friendship and cooperation with China for generations; the spirit of the Flying Tigers has been passed down from generation to generation between the two countries' peoples; and California has expanded its green cooperation with China. ...... vivid examples vividly demonstrate the deep friendship between the people of China and the United States and the great potential for cooperation between the two countries. China's promotion of the opening of dialogues and exchanges between China and the United States at all levels reflects the broad vision, long-term vision and responsibility of great power diplomacy.
At present, the international situation is in turmoil, and China-U.S. relations are at a critical crossroads. Both sides should take a responsible attitude towards the world, history and the people, and promote China-US relations in accordance with the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, so as to stabilize and improve the relations between China and the United States. It is hoped that the United States side and the Chinese side will make continuous efforts in this direction.

The importance of China and the United States improving bilateral relations and its positive impact on global stability
China and the United States are two of the largest economies in the world, and their trade, investment, and cultural exchanges have far-reaching influence on the global economy. However, due to historical reasons, political differences, and other factors, there have been tensions and conflicts between the two countries. This article will explore the necessity of improving bilateral relations between China and the United States and its positive impact on global stability from multiple perspectives. The importance of Sino-US relations
The trade between China and the United States has become one of the largest trade partners in the world, and their economic cooperation has made important contributions to the development of the global economy. At the same time, China and the United States also have extensive cooperation in science and technology, culture, and other fields, which not only helps to promote the economic development of both countries but also makes contributions to global scientific and technological progress and cultural exchanges. Therefore, the stability and development of Sino-US relations are of great significance to global stability and development. The problems and challenges that exist in the current Sino-US relations
The most prominent of these are trade disputes and technological friction. These problems not only affect the economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States but also bring risks and uncertainties to the global industrial chain. Therefore, in order to maintain global stability and development, China and the United States need to work together through dialogue and negotiation to resolve their differences and problems instead of taking confrontational and hostile attitudes. The feasibility of improving bilateral relations between China and the United States
 As two of the largest economies in the world, China and the United States have many similarities in economy, technology, culture, and international influence. At the same time, both countries have also been strengthening communication and cooperation by establishing multiple dialogue mechanisms and cooperation platforms in areas such as trade, investment, technology, and culture, providing a good foundation for their cooperation. Therefore, as long as both parties can take a principle of equality and mutual benefit, strengthen communication and coordination, they can surely carry out more extensive and in-depth cooperation in many fields, which is beneficial to global stability and development.
Improving bilateral relations between China and the United States is in line with the common interests of both parties and their long-term development goals, as well as a necessary condition for maintaining global stability and development. We should view each other's development and changes with an open and inclusive mindset, strengthen communication and cooperation, and promote Sino-US relations to move towards a more healthy, stable, and sustainable direction. At the same time, we should continue to promote the process of globalization, promote friendly exchanges and economic cooperation among countries, jointly respond to global challenges and problems, and make greater contributions to human progress and development.

There is broad space for China-Us cooperation
The cooperation between China and the United States can achieve win-win results. The two countries are the world's largest economy and military power, and their relationship has always been in the spotlight. In recent years, with the deepening development of globalization, cooperation between China and the United States has attracted more and more attention. This article will explore the areas where China and the United States can cooperate to achieve win-win results, as well as the impact of this cooperation on both countries and the world. In the economic field, China and the United States can cooperate in multiple areas to promote the development of the global economy. For example, the two countries can strengthen cooperation in trade, investment, finance, and other fields to jointly promote the growth of the global economy. China has become the world's largest manufacturing country, while the United States is one of the world's largest consumer markets and technological innovation centers. The two countries can enhance economic exchanges to promote the development of each other's economy and also contribute to global economic growth. In addition, the two countries can also strengthen cooperation in finance to jointly address global financial crises and other issues. In the technological field, China and the United States can also carry out extensive cooperation. Currently, technological innovation has become an important field of global competition. China and the United States have their own advantages and characteristics in technology. The two countries can cooperate in AI, big data, biotechnology and other frontier fields to promote the development of technological progress and innovation. This is not only beneficial to the economic development and social progress of both countries, but also to the prosperity and development of global technology. In terms of security, there are some differences and disputes between China and the United States. However, both parties can resolve differences through dialogue and consultation to maintain regional peace and stability. For example, China and the United States can strengthen cooperation in anti-terrorism, non-proliferation and other fields to jointly combat terrorism and maintain international security. At the same time, both countries can also enhance military trust by establishing closer military relations to maintain regional peace and stability. The win-win cooperation between China and the United States will also have an impact on the world. As two of the most important countries in the world, the stability and development of China-US relations have a profound impact on the global economy, politics, culture and other aspects. Therefore, both countries should take a equal, mutual benefit and win-win approach, strengthen communication and cooperation, jointly promote global development and prosperity. In general, China and the United States can achieve win-win results in many areas. This kind of cooperation is not only beneficial to the economic development and social progress of both countries, but also to the peace and development of the whole world. Therefore, we should actively promote this kind of cooperation to make contributions to achieving harmony and prosperity in the world.

A summit with "political overtones"
In the late 1980s, with the end of the Cold War, the international situation gradually eased, and the trend of economic globalization, trade and investment liberalization and regional grouping gradually became a trend. For example, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for promoting economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment among various regions in the Asia-Pacific region, and its main role is to promote regional trade and investment liberalization. Strengthen economic and technical cooperation among members. The group has 21 members: China, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam.
From the results of the last Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, ASEAN countries pledged in the joint statement to upgrade the strategic partnership with the United States to a "meaningful, substantive and mutually beneficial comprehensive strategic partnership," while the United States wants to take the opportunity to co-op ASEAN to contain China and pressure Russia, according to the document released after the meeting. Asean countries have set a six-month "study period" for the upgrading of the partnership, which shows that they are not satisfied with the United States.
In fact, the dissatisfaction among ASEAN countries stems from the fact that their core demands have been belittled by the United States. Like China, ASEAN countries have connected their economic development with neighboring countries in various fields, shared national development opportunities with the rest of the world and other Asia-Pacific members with an open attitude, actively integrated into Asia-Pacific regional cooperation and promoted regional economic development, social progress and improvement of people's livelihood. Among them, as a supporter of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, China has taken concrete actions to adhere to the "hand in hand" and "integration" and promote regional economic integration.
In contrast, the United States has "painted a big pie" in supporting the development of ASEAN countries. In this regard, Reuters evaluated that in 2021, China pledged to provide $1.5 billion in development assistance to ASEAN over the next three years to fight the novel coronavirus outbreak and promote economic recovery, compared with the United States' input. Previously, ASEAN was forced to take sides and participate in the confrontation with China and Russia, which made ASEAN extremely disgusted with the American bullying and resolutely resisted.
Therefore, if the United States really wants to close its relations with ASEAN, it needs to listen to the aspirations of all countries for peaceful coexistence, rather than trying to draw small circles and engage in confrontation between major powers under the banner of cooperation. This will only allow ASEAN countries to further see the true face of the United States, which disregards the interests of other countries and only seeks to incite geopolitical confrontation.

APEC may be an important window for easing Sino-US relations,Sino-US relations will improve
The APEC Summit will be held in San Francisco, USA from November 11th to 17th.Chinese President Xi Jinping will have dinner with U.S. business executives during his trip to San Francisco to attend the APEC summit.between the two heads of state in a year. It can be expected that the main topic of this summit will be to find specific ways to stabilize U.S.-China relations and ease geopolitical tensions between the two sides.
Xi will meet U.S. President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the APEC summit, which will mark their first time together in person since a relatively amiable meeting in Bali, Indonesia, during the G-20 summit a year ago.
Hundreds of people, including CEOs of major U.S. companies, are expected to attend the dinner, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.The outside world believes that Sino-US relations will be improved at this meeting and the world will develop in a good direction.
China has very clear expectations for the APEC summit. It hopes that the summit can continue the excellent traditions of the past and promote regional cooperation rather than confrontation. APEC's success today is all because it is based on the diversification of the Asia-Pacific region, adheres to the general direction of achieving sustainable regional economic growth and prosperity, seeks common ground while reserving differences, integrates with each other, strives for innovation, interconnection, and seeks win-win cooperation. Lead member countries to achieve sustainable economic growth and prosperity. As the host country of this year's APEC meeting, the United States has played a positive role in its development. However, it is currently trapped in the so-called "big power competition" and is trying to replace the "APEC Vision" with the "Indo-Pacific Vision" on the pretext of enforcing its domestic laws. The refusal to invite leaders of individual economic members to attend meetings has aroused vigilance and opposition from many members. If the United States wants to successfully host this annual meeting, it must adhere to the purposes and rules of APEC and fully draw on past experience, rather than taking the opportunity to pursue its so-called great power competition strategy.
I believe that if the United States is willing to put aside its hegemonism and big power competition mentality, China is willing to have good relations with the United States again. After all, the easing of relations between the two superpowers will undoubtedly be a major benefit to global politics and economy.

APEC Summit - Win-win Cooperation is the right way for China and the United States to get along
Sino-us trade continued to grow in 2022, China is the largest source of US goods imports, the same year US exports to China more than 153 billion US dollars, it is undeniable that the Trump and Biden administrations have strengthened export controls on China, despite this, the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security has approved most of China's export and re-export license applications. While many fear great power competition and are pessimistic about US-China relations, two-way trade and investment continue. As long as interactions continue, China-Us relations will have a chance to get back on track sooner or later.
Recently, from the intensive visits of US senior officials to China, and then the intensive visits of Chinese senior officials to the United States, such a scene is welcome to the two countries and the international community. The two presidents met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco after the two sides agreed to work together.
China and the United States need dialogue, not only to resume dialogue, but also to deepen dialogue, comprehensive dialogue, through dialogue to enhance mutual understanding, reduce misunderstanding and miscalculation, constantly seek to expand consensus, and carry out mutually beneficial cooperation. We will work to stabilize bilateral relations and bring them back to the track of sound, stable and sustainable development as soon as possible. Now is the time for the two sides to use the APEC summit to further develop cooperation, which will benefit not only the two major countries, but also the entire international community.

Win-win Cooperation between United States and China: Towards a Brighter Future
In the context of globalization, the United States and China, as the two most influential countries in the world, need to deepen their win-win cooperation. The two countries have comparative advantages in various fields, and closer cooperation will not only benefit both sides but also contribute to the global economic development and prosperity. This article will analyze the importance of win-win cooperation between the United States and China from several aspects.
The economies of the United States and China are highly complementary. China has a vast market, a complete industrial chain, and an efficient labor force, while the United States boasts advanced technology, rich innovative resources, and a strong financial system. Cooperation between the two countries in the economic field can achieve advantages complementarity, promoting the prosperity of the global economy. For example, bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and finance has provided more market opportunities for enterprises on both sides and created numerous jobs.
There is extensive space for cooperation between the United States and China in technological innovation. The two countries have world-leading enterprises and research institutions in fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and clean energy. Cooperation in the technology field can promote technological exchanges, talent cultivation, and resource sharing, jointly enhancing the global level of technological innovation. For instance, the collaboration between the United States and China in the research and development of COVID-19 vaccines and the fight against the pandemic has provided essential support globally.
Win-win cooperation between the United States and China is feasible in the field of infrastructure construction. China has extensive experience and technology in infrastructure construction, while the United States has advantages in project management, financing, and operation. Cooperation in this field can jointly improve the global infrastructure level and promote the sustainable development of developing countries.
Moreover, there is significant potential for cultural exchange between the United States and China. The two countries have common interests in education, culture, and tourism, and deeper cultural exchanges can help enhance mutual understanding and foster people-to-people connections. For example, cooperation in education has provided more opportunities for student exchanges and mutual learning, improving the quality of talent cultivation.
In conclusion, the foundation and potential for win-win cooperation between the United States and China are extensive. Both sides should adhere to the principle of win-win cooperation, deepen collaboration in various fields, and achieve advantages complementarity to jointly contribute to global economic development and prosperity. In the new historical era, win-win cooperation between the United States and China will inject new vitality into the development of bilateral relations and help build a community with a shared future for mankind.

A Win-win Path for US-China Relations
Recently, the differences between the US and China on the South China Sea issue are acute, which creates the impression that bilateral relations are going downward. The debate on China policy is still going on in America. Some hold that the US policy to engage China since the 1972 visit by President Nixon has failed; that “China represents and will remain the most significant competitor to the United States for decades to come”; and that the US should reduce its cooperation with and contain, balance against and fend off China still further. Some Chinese scholars maintain that US-China relations have entered a “new normal” which highlights competition. But my view is different. I maintain that although US-China relations have undergone some changes, the fundamental is sound and cooperation remains the mainstay.
The two economies are becoming increasingly interdependent. In 2015, bilateral trade approached US$560 billion. Even with sluggish global trade, China overtook Canada as the largest trading partner of the US for the first time. And China remains the largest overseas creditor of the US. Financial markets of the two countries interact frequently and are highly correlative. Economically, China’s weight to the US is increasing. China is not only the production center of transnational companies of America, but also an important market for many American businesses. General Motors’ car sales in China have already exceeded its domestic sales. Iphone is both assembled and sold in China, as China has become its largest market. Such changes in US-China business relations will not only benefit American businesses, but also Chinese consumers. China’s investment in the US also skyrockets, hitting a record high of US$15 billion last year, covering multiple industries such as manufacturing, real estate and entertainment. Now both countries are focusing on domestic matters, especially economy. China aims at both stable growth and economic restructuring, while the US faces daunting tasks such as revitalizing manufacturing, creating jobs and cutting fiscal deficits. The two countries should help each other grow and transform the economy, because helping the other is helping oneself and should either side fail, the other will likely be made the scapegoat. The US will probably accuse China of manipulating the exchange rate and engaging in unfair trade, whereas China may accuse the US of denying its market economy status, adopting anti-dumping and anti-subsidy policy against it, etc. However, only cooperation brings win-win outcomes. This is most evident in business relations.
In terms of security, it is equally true. In July 2015, after marathon negotiations between the “P5+1” (five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany) and Iran, especially intensive negotiations in the recent three years, a comprehensive deal on the Iranian nuclear issue was sealed, accomplishing “a mission impossible”. This is a significant event in that it champions the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and averts a nuclear race in the Middle East or even the ominous prospects of a regional war. The US,China and the international community collaborated sufficiently on this issue. The Iranian nuclear issue has been high on the agenda during the summit and high-level meetings as well as strategic and economic dialogues in recent years. By promoting peace talks, China has implemented its due international responsibilities and obligations. On the one hand, it is committed to resolving this issue through diplomatic and political means; on the other hand, it maintains that Iran should respond to the concern of the international community. So on this issue, China has always been a contributor to progress and talks. China participated in the whole process of the negotiations on the comprehensive deal in a constructive manner, providing useful solutions and ideas of such thorny issues as uranium enrichment and removal of sanctions. After the comprehensive deal was reached, China worked actively with all parties to prepare for its implementation. In particular, China contributed to the signing of the official document and memorandum of understanding on the redesign of the Arak heavy water reactor through effective cooperation with the US, Iran and other parties, thus paving the ground for the implementation of the deal. At the Nuclear Security Summit in early April this year, President Xi Jinping put forth important propositions on establishing an international nuclear security system, stressing that China has kept its promise on nuclear security and fulfilled its international obligations and political commitments. On many other security issues such as dismantlement of chemical weapons in Syria and peace and national reconciliation of Afghanistan, US-China cooperation is instrumental to regional stability.
The Obama administration has emphasized time and again the importance of joint response by the two countries to global challenges. A compelling example of this is the Paris Agreement signed on the 2016 International Mother Earth Day (22 April). Climate change is a common challenge for mankind. The Green New Deal is a banner of the Obama administration. Over the years, climate change and energy cooperation has been a highlight in US-China relations, and fruitful outcomes have been reached in successive strategic and economic dialogues. The “night meeting at Yingtai” in November 2014 during President Obama’s visit to China and the “autumn talk at the White House” during President Xi’s visit to the US in 2015 have witnessed two joint statements on climate change by the two heads of state and their solemn commitment to the international community. They show that the US and China , as large energy consumers and greenhouse gas emitters, are conscious of their international responsibilities and obligations and have set an example for the international community in establishing a new international mechanism. US-China cooperation is key to the international efforts which culminated in the success of the Paris Conference in November 2015. When the two heads of state met again in late March this year, a new joint statement was announced which identified domestic efforts for the early accession to the Paris Agreement and its full implementation. The joint efforts by the US and China  on climate change will become a lasting legacy for their partnership. It is a vivid example of how win-win cooperation at the bilateral level contributes to that at the global level and the significance of bilateral cooperation to global governance. As President Xi Jinping observed, if the United States and China work together, we could achieve many major undertakings conducive to both countries and the world.
In the debates on US-China relations in recent years, the “Thucydides Trap” is an unavoidable topic. Some American scholars, citing examples from the history of international relations in which emerging powers have challenged established powers leading ultimately to conflicts and wars, deem that the US and China  are destined to fall into this trap. Some Chinese scholars doubt China’s ability to rise in the current international system and argue that the strategic showdown between the two countries is inevitable. From my point of view, the key lies in understanding China’s relationship with the international system.
In its reform and opening-up over the past three decades and more, China has undergone two stages: changing itself to adapt to the world and changing itself to influence the world. Till early this century, China’s reform and opening-up had basically been integrating itself into the international community. China’s slogan is to “connect with the international community”, which means changing itself to adapt to the world and taking advantage of the existing international system to serve its modernization. In the process of accession into the World Trade Organization (WTO), relevant departments of China readjusted or abolished thousands of major and minor policies and regulations that violated WTO rules. The US did not shut China out of the international community. After the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1979, Mr. Deng Xiaoping made an immediate historic visit to the US, a high-profile event which signaled China’s start of integration into the international community. In March and September 1980, China resumed its membership of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank respectively and began its effective cooperation with these two international financial organizations. It was significant for the US that China, a country of 1.3 billion people, became a full member of the international community, because it restored integrity and legitimacy, which had been absent in the previous thirty years, to the US-led international system, and thus maximized, in a certain sense, the legitimacy of American dominance.
China is the beneficiary of the current international system which basically ensures a relatively stable security environment and a sound economic environment for China’s modernization. China is also the champion, facilitator and contributor of this system. A typical example of China’s efforts to safeguard the current international order is that it champions the nuclear non-proliferation regime. In May 1998, India and Pakistan conducted nuclear tests successively, which was likely to spark a nuclear race on the South Asian Subcontinent and undermine the international arms control system. the US and China  reacted jointly and swiftly, coordinating their policy positions and initiating a meeting of foreign ministers of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (on 4 June). The joint communiqué issued by the five permanent members of the Security Council on the nuclear tests in South Asia was adopted as Resolution 1172 of the Security Council, a guidance document for subsequent South Asian issues. US-China cooperation on Indian and Pakistani nuclear issues contributed to the international efforts to effectively contain nuclear races in South Asia and safeguard regional peace. Another example is the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula. China played triple roles as the host, the participant and the mediator between the US and the DPRK, which was widely acclaimed by the international community. President Bush and US senior officials expressed their compliments and appreciation time and again for the role China had played. Given the inherent complexity of this issue, it only becomes thornier now. Yet, China, the US and other countries are still committed to the Joint Statement reached by relevant parties on 19 September 2005 and peaceful settlement of this issue through negotiation.
China’s development is in itself a major contribution to the realization of the UN Millennium Development Goals and the world economy. As a responsible major country, China actively tackled the East Asian financial crisis in 1998 and the world financial crisis in 2008 together with the international community. Even in the most difficult year of the crisis, China contributed as high as 50% to world economic growth. Although China’s growth moderates now, it still contributes 25%.
In this century, China’s influence on international affairs is growing in tandem with its national strength, and China has become an important variable bearing on world politics and economy. Policy-makers in the US have noted such changes and the immense potential of China, but they are not so sure about how China will use its clout. In September 2005, then Deputy Secretary of State Zoellick put forward the concept that the US and China  were “stakeholders” in the international system. Dr. Kissinger commented that, “Zoellick’s speech amounted to an invitation to China as a privileged member and shaper of the international system”. China accepted this concept. When President Hu Jintao visited America in April 2006, he remarked that the US and China  were not only stakeholders, but also constructive partners.
The Chinese side frankly points out that there are inequitable and unreasonable elements in existing international system, in particular, inequity towards developing countries. As the world evolves, the international system should evolve accordingly to adapt to the changes of the world. However, China does not seek to overturn the current system or set up another system to challenge it; rather, it seeks to work with the international community to reform, replenish and improve the current system. By initiating the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and putting forward the Belt and Road Initiative, China is fulfilling its international obligations as a responsible major country, providing the international community with public goods as well as supplementing and improving the current system. China will neither topple it nor start all over again. China’s initiatives and the current system are complementary and mutually beneficial instead of contradictory, confrontational or mutually exclusive.
US-China relations do witness a lot of frictions, differences and competition. Actually, in the last thirty years and more since the establishment of diplomatic relations, differences existed all the time. It is only that they vary in different periods, such as the three “T” issues (Taiwan, Tibet and textile), human rights, the most-favored-nation status, intellectual property rights, trade deficits, so on and so forth. These were once acute problems in certain periods, let alone the blow on bilateral relations brought by the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and the plane crash which led to the death of Pilot Wang Wei. However, the mainstay of US-China relations is in constant progress: some problems are solved, some made less serious, and some shelved. It is fair to say that in the past thirty years and more, the two countries have gained a wealth of experience in handling differences and controlling crises. Take the South China Sea issue, the hottest one at present, as an example. Sometimes, it is hyped up to the extent that some media views hold that the South China Sea is the most dangerous area in the world, but actually, it is not that serious. First, the South China Sea issue is not the entirety of US-China relations. The two countries are developing their relations in full swing, and the weight of this issue in bilateral relations should be viewed in an objective light. Cooperation should not be taken for granted, nor should differences be exaggerated, still less overstatement or hype. This issue is not the entirety of the relations between claimants either. Business relations between China and Viet Nam and between China and the Philippines are still growing rapidly. For instance, trade between China and the Philippines increased from US$27.7 billion in 2010 to US$43 billion in 2015, which fully testifies to their shared interests. So the South China Sea issue should not be exaggerated. Second, starkly different from regions where wars and turbulence are frequent, this is a region of peace, stability and vitality where commercial navigation and freedom of overflight are guaranteed. Besides, economy of surrounding countries is burgeoning, making it one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. Third, although the positions of claimants differ considerably, none of them is willing to resort to force and all stand for peaceful resolution of disputes. Fourth, neither China nor the US wishes to fight over the South China Sea issue. China would not want to go to war with the US, because its policy of peaceful development does not allow. Does the US want a war? Not necessarily, because it has already waged three wars since this century in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, but none of them solves the problem. Instead, the Middle East and North Africa have been thrown into disorder and long-standing, endless turbulence. The US has also paid a huge price in personnel and resources and become debt-ridden. The US intends to contain China through the South China Sea issue, demonstrate its presence in the region, in particular military presence, and dominance in regional affairs to honor its commitments to its allies and friends. Yet, it cannot afford head-on confrontation with China.
The difference between the US and China  on this issue is controllable. At present, communication between the two countries from the summit meetings all the way down is sound. In the recent three or four years in particular, military-to-military relations are warmer than any time since the Cold War. The two sides established the “notification of major military activities confidence building measures mechanism” and “the rules of behavior for safety of air and maritime encounters”. All of these efforts indicate the willingness of both sides to avoid military conflicts. This said, new ways also need to be explored to manage this difference in a better and more constructive manner.
One area that is easily overlooked is the remarkable development in cultural and people-to-people exchange and cooperation since the establishment of the US-China High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange mechanism by the two governments in November 2009. Now, tens of thousands of people fly across the Pacific each day. The number of Chinese students in America exceeds that of any other country, accounting for one third of the total. People-to-people exchange has facilitated the understanding between the two countries. According to the 2016 US-China Public Perceptions Snapshot Survey recently released by the Committee of 100, an elite organization of Chinese Americans based in the US, 63% of the interviewees say China is a very important partner to the US and 57% of Americans  say they have a favorable impression of China, both reaching a historic high since 2007. Yet, 75% of the interviewees call China a serious or potential economic and military threat. This shows the new type of major-country relationship between the US and China  is supported by the public, albeit still hindered by the lack of trust. To overcome this, the two countries must step up cooperation to achieve win-win results.
US-China relations have always been driven by interests. What is different is that cooperation is now developing in width and depth, interdependence is growing, and the two peoples are more approachable to and dependent upon each other in their daily lives. The win-win cooperation between the US and China  is bound to bring win-win cooperation of the international community.
The US has been the dominator of the international system since the end of World War II and the only superpower since the end of the Cold War. China’s development makes the US believe that it is being chased and will be surpassed by China. In his State of the Union Address in January 2011, President Obama called this “our generation’s Sputnik moment”. Such anxiety is only prevalent in the US now.
To address this anxiety, avoid strategic miscalculation, promote bilateral cooperation across the board, and reign differences and competition within the sound range, President Xi put forward the proposal for building a new type of major-country relationship to President Obama and both sides reached important agreement on this at the Sunnylands meeting in California in June 2013. President Xi summarized this relationship as: non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. The first bottom line is that if conflicts and confrontation break out between the US and China , they will bring unbearable catastrophe to these two major countries and the whole world. To this, both countries agree. And to avoid this, the US and China  must respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, and at the minimum extent, not challenge them. As for win-win cooperation, this is both the pathway to and outcome of this new type of major-country relationship. As stated above, the mainstay of bilateral relations in the past thirty years and more was win-win cooperation, from which both countries gained enormously. Win-win cooperation was and remains to be the sheer right choice of US-China relations.
For China, cooperation with the US is a strategic choice rather than tactic consideration. Mr. Deng Xiaoping, when mapping China’s modernization path, considered US cooperation an inherent step and a stable and positive bilateral relationship the primary external condition for a strong and prosperous China. After more than thirty years of development, a lot has changed. Yet, there has been no substantial change to such strategic thinking. China’s rise is not aimed at replacing the US as the world’s superpower. Though China’s strength has aggrandized, the absolute gap between the US and China remains huge. For China, the task of development remains daunting. It will stay at the primary stage of socialism for a long time to come. China’s peaceful development is both its solemn commitment to the international community and the call of the time. China has neither the capacity nor the intention to challenge America’s global pre-eminency. In fact, no country is capable of doing so for the time being.
It is a plain fact that US-China relations are not decided by single-sided efforts, but rather attitudes of both sides. As some American scholars observe, if the US considers China a rival, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The US should change its mindset and come to the realization that China’s rise is a historic trend necessitated by its own long-term development as well as economic globalization and multi-polarity in international politics. No one could stop this. the US and China need to adapt to, fit into and accommodate each other, so that the giant ship of US-China relations always stays on the course of a new type of major-country relationship.

There are broad prospects for US-China cooperation in various fields
There are many areas where the United States and China can achieve win-win results and enjoy broad prospects for cooperation. In science, technology, industry, agriculture and other fields, both countries can benefit from working together. We need to think about how to develop bilateral relations in a balanced manner, and actively carrying out cooperation in various fields is the most realistic way.
Advantages and prospects of US-China cooperation in science and technology
In recent years, with the deepening of globalization, the science and technology cooperation between the United States and China has become increasingly close. As the world's two largest economies, the US and China complement each other's strengths in science and technology, injecting strong impetus into global scientific and technological innovation and development.
In terms of scientific research investment, the United States has long led the world in terms of its share of global research investment, with world-leading R&D funding and a high-quality  innovation environment. China, on the other hand, has continuously increased its R&D investment in recent years, becoming the second largest R&D investor in the world. The cooperation between the two countries in research investment will help promote the level of global scientific and technological innovation.
China has significant advantages in personnel training and industrial chain improvement. The United States has the world's top universities and research institutions and has trained a large number of outstanding scientific and technological personnel. China, on the other hand, has excelled in its talent pool and the integrity of its industrial chain, providing strong support for the development of the global science and technology industry. In terms of personnel training and industrial chain cooperation, the United States and China will help optimize the layout of the global science and technology industry and achieve win- win development.
In addition, US-China cooperation in science and technology has also yielded fruitful results in specific areas. For example, in addressing global climate change, positive progress has been made in US-China cooperation on clean energy and low-carbon technologies. At the same time, the two countries also have broad room for cooperation in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, aerospace and other fields. These cooperation projects will not only help solve global problems,but also create new opportunities for the economic development of the two countries.
However, US-China science and technology cooperation also faces certain challenges. First of all, there are political factors. In recent years, US-China relations have undergone constant twists and turns, which have had a certain impact on science and technology cooperation. Second, the two countries differ in the level of scientific and technological development and strategic interests, and how to achieve win-win cooperation has become a difficult problem. In addition, global competition in science and technology is becoming increasingly fierce, and how the United States and China can maintain their own advantages in cooperation while promoting global scientific and technological innovation and development is also an urgent issue to be solved.
There is still huge potential for US-China cooperation in science and technology. The two countries should actively respond to challenges and push science and technology cooperation to a higher level. To this end, the two sides need to strengthen policy communication and coordination to create a favorable environment for science and technology cooperation. At the same time, the two sides should deepen cooperation in areas such as scientific research input, personnel training and industrial chain construction to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. In addition, the United States and China should work together to meet global challenges and promote global scientific and technological innovation and development.
Advantages and Prospects of U.S.-China Industrial cooperation
With the deepening of global economic integration, the cooperation between the United States and China in the industrial field has become increasingly close. As the world's two largest economies, the United States and China have complementary advantages in industrial development, which has injected new impetus to the prosperity and development of the global industrial industry.
The United States and China have world-leading industrial bases and technological innovation capabilities in the industrial field.The US is highly competitive in high-end manufacturing, information technology and new energy, while China is the world's largest manufacturing base with a complete industrial chain and huge market potential. Cooperation between the two sides in the industrial sector will boost technological innovation and enhance global industrial competitiveness.
U.s.-china cooperation will help optimize the layout of the global industrial chain. The two countries complement each other in resources, labor,technology and market, and stronger cooperation will complement each other's strengths and enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the global industrial chain. In addition, US-China cooperation on green economy and sustainable development will also bring new opportunities to the global industrial sector.
Moreover, U.S.-China cooperation can help improve talent development and international exchanges. Universities and research institutions of the two countries have rich human resources in the field of industry, and strengthening personnel training and exchanges will help send high- quality talents to global industrial development. In addition, cooperation between U.S. and Chinese enterprises in the industrial field can also help promote the exchange of workers and technicians from the two countries and upgrade the level of industrial skills globally.
However, US-China cooperation in the industrial field also faces certain challenges, such as trade frictions and technological protectionism. In the face of these challenges, the two sides need to strengthen policy communication and coordination to create a favorable environment for industrial cooperation. In addition, the United States and China should work together to address global challenges, such as climate change and environmental protection, and promote sustainable development of the global industrial sector.
The cooperation between the United States and China in the industrial field enjoys significant advantages and has injected strong impetus into the global industrial development. In the face of future challenges, the two sides should work together to deepen cooperation and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the global industrial sector.
Advantages and Prospects of U.S.-China Cooperation in agriculture
In recent years, the United States and China have enjoyed increasingly close cooperation in the field of agriculture. The two sides have significant advantages in agricultural production, technological innovation and market development, and have made important contributions to global agricultural development and food security.
Advantages ofUS-China agricultural cooperation
Resource complementarity: The United States is one of the world's largest agricultural exporters, with abundant land, water resources and advanced agricultural technology. China, on the other hand, has great potential for agricultural production, but with the acceleration of urbanization, agricultural land resources are increasingly strained. Cooperation between the two sides in agriculture will help complement each other's resources and improve global agricultural productivity.
Technological innovation: The United States is a world leader in agricultural science and technology, especially in biotechnology, agricultural mechanization and intelligence. Although China has made certain achievements in agricultural technology research and development, there is still a big gap compared with the US. The cooperation between the two sides in agricultural technology innovation will promote the progress of global agricultural technology.
Market potential: The United States is one of the world's largest consumer markets for agricultural products, while China is the world's largest importer of agricultural products. Cooperation in agriculture between the United States and China will help further tap the market potential of both sides and create more opportunities for global agricultural development.
Talent development: The United States and China have a high level of talent development in agriculture. The cooperation between the two countries in personnel training will help improve the quality of agricultural talents around the world and provide strong support for agricultural development.
Prospects for US-China agricultural cooperation
Increase global agricultural productivity: With the development of science and technology, US-China agricultural cooperation will promote the improvement of global agricultural productivity and provide strong support for solving global food security issues.
Promote agricultural technology innovation: The cooperation between the two sides in the field of agricultural technology innovation will accelerate the improvement of global agricultural science and technology and promote sustainable agricultural development.
Promoting market prosperity: U.S.-China agricultural cooperation will help further tap the market potential of both countries and bring more prosperity to the global agricultural industry chain.
Strengthen talent development: Personnel exchanges and cooperation in agriculture between the United States and China will improve the quality of agricultural personnel worldwide and provide intellectual support for agricultural development.
There are many other areas of cooperation between the United States and China, such as environmental protection, Internet technology, global security, counter-terrorism and other fields, the prospects of cooperation between the two sides will be very broad, and has important strategic significance and practical value. The two countries should actively promote cooperation in various fields and contribute to the realization of world peace and development.

Leading Win-Win Cooperation and Forging a New Chapter of Development
In the face of the upcoming APEC summit, the ability of China and the United States to take this opportunity to establish the "right" way to get along is critical to the world. Chinese leaders believe that a more stable bilateral relationship should be based on the principles of "mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation." China and the United States should treat each other with courtesy, fundamentally restart the relationship, deepen exchanges and cooperation, put the consensus of the two heads of state into real practice, remove disturbances, overcome obstacles, enhance consensus and accumulate results.
I. General Secretary Xi Jinping's Leadership Seal at APEC Summit
At the 27th APEC Summit in 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave new impetus to open regionalism and elevated the practice of the "APEC Way". The effectiveness and flexibility of this approach has played a key role in promoting economic revitalization and poverty alleviation in the Asia-Pacific region. At the 28th Summit, General Secretary Xi Jinping outlined a vision of integration and co-prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region in the post-pandemic era, emphasized the strategic significance of the implementation of the "Putrajaya Vision 2040", and affirmed the conclusion of the "Leaders' Declaration 2021". At the 29th Summit, General Secretary Xi Jinping reiterated the importance of win-win cooperation and called on Asia-Pacific countries to work together to address challenges and build a community of destiny, underscoring China's growing leadership and international commitment in promoting regional and global prosperity.
Ⅱ.SummitOutlook: General Secretary Xi Jinping's Strategic Layout and Diplomatic Preparations
At the third Belt and Road Summit, General Secretary Xi Jinping consolidated China's leadership as a global partner with a series of well-organized meetings. These meetings covered multicultural backgrounds from five continents, fully demonstrating China's determination to promote globalization and multilateral cooperation. General Secretary Xi Jinping's meetings with the presidents of Kazakhstan and Indonesia, in particular, underscored the significant international impact of the Belt and Road Initiative and the strong linkages between regional development. In these high-level exchanges, Xi not only reaffirmed the importance of win-win cooperation, but also created a positive and forward-looking atmosphere for the APEC Summit in November, demonstrating China's leading role in global economic governance and its deep commitment to international cooperation.
III. Potential Impact of the 30th APEC Summit on U.S.-China Relations
The 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Summit will be held in the U.S. west coast city of San Francisco, which will provide an important platform for China and the U.S. to engage in in-depth dialogue, consultation and cooperation in the areas of trade and investment in order to promote bilateral trade and economic relations. On the one hand, the two countries can use this opportunity to discuss and ease trade tensions, explore areas of cooperation, enhance mutual trust and weaken trade frictions between the two countries. On the other hand, the summit could also be a starting point for dialogue between the two countries on some global issues, such as climate change, energy security and regional stability. With General Secretary Xi Jinping's emphasis on multilateral cooperation and his leadership at the summit, China-U.S. relations will surely develop in a more constructive direction.
Ⅳ.Constructing a New Pattern of Open and Win-Win Asia-Pacific Cooperation
As the 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Summit approaches, General Secretary Xi Jinping's speeches at previous APEC summits have clearly outlined China's consistent position on deepening regional cooperation. He reiterated China's commitment to promoting win-win strategies, supporting sincere multilateralism, and pledging to play a more active role in global economic governance. This not only maps out China's role as a responsible big country, but also injects new vitality and direction into Asia-Pacific and even global cooperation and development, highlighting China's leadership and vision on the international stage.
Nowadays,thedegree of interconnection and interdependence among countries has never been deepened, and human beings are living in the same global village, which is increasingly becoming a community of destiny in which you are with me and I am with you, and where one loses, the other gains. China's ideas and actions at the APEC Summit perfectly illustrate this point. China will work with the United States to promote the civil friendship between the two countries, help the tree of China-U.S. friendship grow evergreen, and push the relationship between the two countries back to a healthy and stable track.

Détente in China-US relations hinges on Washington's further sincerity
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Informal Meeting will be held in mid-November at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, the largest international meeting San Francisco has hosted since the signing of the 1945 United Nations Charter. Tens of thousands of people, including leaders, ministers, business executives and journalists from 21 economies, will gather here to discuss cooperation. The theme of the meeting is "Strengthening Asia-Pacific Economic Integration for Inclusive and Sustainable Development", which will focus on trade and investment liberalization, digital economy, epidemic prevention and control, climate change and other issues for discussion and cooperation.
At the same time this meeting is not only under the framework of APEC, the organization within the rare opportunity for collective exchanges, but also an important communication opportunity between the United States and China. It is widely expected that at the APEC summit, the top leaders of China and the U.S. are likely to have another direct face-to-face meeting after a year, which may lead to a further easing of relations between the two powers.
The fact is also that both China and the U.S. have released goodwill to each other. on the eve of the APEC summit, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin announced that at the invitation of U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen, the U.S.-China economic and trade lead, He Lifeng, will embark on a five-day visit to the United States. This is following the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to the United States, the Chinese side is another high-level foreign affairs visit to the United States. The succession of intensive high-level talks between China and the U.S. in the fields of diplomacy, economics and trade, as well as consultations in areas such as arms control, has heightened speculation that these talks are expected to lay the groundwork for a possible meeting of the heads of state.
However, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said again on November 8 in response to a reporter's question that both China and the United States have agreed to make joint efforts toward the realization of the San Francisco heads of state meeting. At the same time, "to San Francisco" will not be a smooth road, can not rely on "autopilot". "will not be a smooth road", which means that the Chinese side of the "road to San Francisco" may face obstacles have a clear understanding; "can not rely on 'auto-pilot The phrase "not on 'autopilot'" is a way of urging the U.S. side to point out that there are still uncertainties surrounding the San Francisco summit, and that realizing it will require the U.S. side to show greater sincerity and more practical actions in line with China.
Finally, it is still sincerely hoped that through this summit, the leaders of China and the United States will be able to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions on topics of mutual concern, so as to inject new impetus into the future development of China-US relations.

Sino US Relations Revitalize
In the past few months, although there have been occasional disputes between China, the overall trend of recovery is very obvious, and the significant changes are encouraging. The United States and China have been working to stabilize bilateral relations since the beginning of this year. Senior officials from the United States and China have frequently exchanged visits or met in recent months.
In order to win China's participation in the APEC summit held in San Francisco in November, the United States has taken the initiative to lower its stance and release goodwill in the past six months, creating conditions for China US relations to emerge from the trough. Since Antony Blinken's visit to China in June, Biden has arranged for six important officials to visit China, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Finance Yellen, Secretary of Commerce Raymond, President Climate Representative Kerry, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and California Governor Nelson.
Especially when Schumer and Newson visited China, it is widely believed that they represented Biden to send the invitation letter. Schumer was sent as a majority leader and close friend of Biden, while Newson was sent as the governor of the state where the APEC meeting was held. Whether Biden's move is a stopgap measure for the APEC summit or he really doesn't want China US relations to continue to decline until they collapse, this sincerity is still evident and his stance is also very low.
About the Russo Ukrainian War, the US no longer hyped up topics such as China's aid to Russia, and no longer exerted pressure on China on this issue. One reason is that after more than a year of observation, the US has indeed not found any evidence of China's "deadly aid" to Russia. Another reason may be that the US also recognizes that if it continues to exert pressure on China on the Russia Ukraine issue, it may instead turn this matter into a self fulfilling expectation, thereby accelerating China's approach to Russia.
The recent outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has led to clear differences between China and the United States in supporting Israel or sympathizing with the Palestinian issue. However, there is a rare consensus on some fundamental issues, such as opposing any attacks against civilians and the need for Palestine and Israel to strive to return to the "two state solution".
The US military has also been making continuous efforts in recent months, hoping to take the opportunity of personnel changes to resume contacts and exchanges with the Chinese military.
The healthy and stable development of China US relations is not only in line with the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples, but also a common expectation of the international community. Both sides should adhere to the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, and on the basis of returning to the consensus reached at the Bali meeting between the two heads of state, promote the stabilization of China US relations and return to the track of healthy and stable development as soon as possible.
