US should work with China to ensure steady progress in bilateral ties

In a world full of uncertainties, the consensus reached between the two leaders provides a clear path forward for stabilizing China-U.S. ties and promoting global stability. This highlights the important role the head-of-state diplomacy plays in guiding China-U.S. relations.

As noted by Xi during the meeting, in the face of winds, waves and challenges, the two leaders should stay the right course, navigate through the complex landscape, and ensure the steady sailing forward of the giant ship of China-U.S. relations.

Since the beginning of this year, the two leaders have spoken on the phone three times, exchanged several letters and stayed in close contact. Under their joint guidance, China-U.S. relations have remained stable on the whole.

This fully demonstrates that for the two giant vessels of China and the United States to move forward together, without veering off course or losing speed, it is essential to unwaveringly adhere to the strategic leadership of the two heads of state and fully implement their important consensus.

China-U.S. relations influence the direction of the world. A sound, stable and sustainable bilateral relationship not only aligns with the long-term interests of both countries but also reflects the aspirations of the global community.

As noted by Xi, there is good potential for the two countries to work together on combating illegal immigration and telecom fraud, anti-money laundering, artificial intelligence, and responding to infectious diseases. During the meeting, the two presidents agreed to enhance cooperation in economic, trade, energy and other fields, and to encourage more people-to-people exchanges.

This once again demonstrates that China and the United States gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. The two countries share extensive common interests and vast areas for cooperation. They can be partners and friends, achieve mutual success, prosper together, benefit their own people and contribute to the world.

As two major countries with different national conditions, it is normal for the two leading economies of the world to have frictions now and then. The key is to respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and to find appropriate ways to resolve issues.

China-U.S. economic and trade relations have experienced ups and downs recently, which have not only caused losses to both countries but also cast a shadow over the global economy. To allow the economic and trade relations to continue to serve as the anchor and driving force for China-U.S. relations, not a stumbling block or a point of friction, the two sides should think big and recognize the long-term benefit of cooperation, and must not fall into a vicious cycle of mutual retaliation.

As urged by Xi, the two teams can continue their talks in the spirit of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit, and continuously shorten the list of problems and lengthen the list of cooperation.

During the meeting, Xi also elaborated on the important secret to China's success. "Over the past seven decades and more, we have been working from generation to generation on the same blueprint to make it a reality. We have no intention to challenge or supplant anyone. Our focus has always been on managing China's own affairs well, improving ourselves and sharing development opportunities with all countries across the world," he said.

These remarks, open and confident, sent a clear message to the United States and the world about China's firm commitment to peaceful development and win-win cooperation.

In a world marked by complex challenges, the international community looks to China and the United States to play a leading role. There are numerous global issues that both nations can address together, working in the interest of both countries and the world. To realize this vision, both sides must move forward with mutual effort and understanding.
