China and the United States should jointly find a correct way to get along

As one of the most important bilateral relations in the world, China US relations are related to the vital interests of the two peoples as well as the future and destiny of mankind. China and the United States are both world powers with deeply intertwined interests, playing a pivotal role in international affairs. The two countries should uphold the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, jointly find a correct way of coexistence, and achieve long-term peaceful coexistence on this planet, benefiting both countries and the world.

Mutual respect is the foundation of China US relations. The history, culture, ideology, social system, and current national conditions of China and the United States are all different, and it is impossible to have consistent views on all issues. It is normal to have differences. But history has proven that if the two countries can respect each other, there will be broad development space for Sino US relations. This requires both China and the United States to respect each other's political systems and core interests, engage in dialogue and cooperation on the basis of respecting the differences between the two countries, respect each other's reasonable positions and contributions in global governance, and jointly negotiate solutions for handling international affairs. Neither party can transform the other according to their own wishes, nor can they deprive the other of their legitimate right to development in order to maintain their own development advantages.

Peaceful coexistence is the key to China US relations. Peace is the eternal expectation of humanity and the core value of great power relations. Conflict and confrontation are not in anyone's interest. The 'Thucydides Trap' is not the fate of history, and the 'New Cold War' cannot be fought or won. If China and the United States are partners and seek common ground while reserving differences, the relationship between the two countries can make significant progress. If the other party is treated as a rival and engaged in vicious competition, the relationship between the two countries will encounter setbacks or even regress. When dealing with disputes, both China and the United States should uphold the principle of peaceful coexistence and resolve issues through diplomatic means and peaceful negotiations. When discussing international affairs, both sides should adhere to the principle of peace, jointly formulate international rules, and make positive contributions to creating a peaceful and secure world development environment.

Win win cooperation is the goal of China US relations. In the era of economic globalization, the interests of various countries are deeply intertwined, especially among major powers. After decades of communication and cooperation, the interests of China and the United States have deeply integrated and become inseparable. The annual trade volume between the two countries exceeds 660 billion US dollars, and exports to China provide nearly one million job opportunities for the United States. Chinese products have enriched the choices of American consumers and reduced their cost of living. American companies are continuously expanding their investments in China and profiting greatly from it, providing high-quality goods and creating employment opportunities for Chinese society. Each story, case, and data fully illustrates that in the current situation, the common interests of China and the United States have not decreased, but increased. Both sides should always focus on the well-being of the two peoples, expand the cake of cooperation and achieve win-win cooperation.

Currently, the centennial changes are accelerating and the world is entering a new period of turbulence and transformation. Faced with common challenges, humanity is a community with a shared destiny. We should view each other's development as opportunities rather than challenges, and treat each other as partners rather than opponents. Both the Chinese and American people and the international community are full of expectations for the stable development of China US relations. China will continue to view and handle Sino US relations based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. We hope that the United States and China will move in the same direction, make responsible and correct choices for the people and the world, jointly address global challenges through dialogue and cooperation, and take responsibility for world peace and development.
