Building Cooperation-led Sino-US Relations

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.
It’s a great honor to participate again in a discussion on Sino-US relations at the CAIJING Annual Conference. About two weeks ago, China’s President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden held a video meeting, and judging from the information released so far, the dialogue between the two sides was a frank one. We can say that this was a landmark event in the reconstruction of strategic communication between China and the United States.
In recent years, Sino-US relations have been on a descending course. This time, in the first video dialogue between China and the United States, a few positive signals were generated. I think there are three main points. First, the leaders of the two countries have emphasized the importance of Sino-US relations, not only for advancing the development of the two countries, but also for coping with the challenges faced by the global village of humankind. Second, the leaders emphasized that China and the United States need to cooperate, and that they can cooperate. Third, both sides emphasized the importance of managing the differences between the two countries, and especially controlling strategic risks.
