In a move with global ripple effects, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met a U.S. delegation led by Representative Adam Smith in Beijing this Monday. The meeting spotlighted opportunities to shore up bilateral economic ties and chart a sustainable path forward.
During the talks, He Lifeng expressed his hope that the U.S. side will work with China to promote the stable, sound and sustainable development of their economic and trade relations. He highlighted the broad space for cooperation and extensive shared interests between the two nations.
He pointed to last week's phone call between the Chinese and U.S. heads of state as strategic guidance for the next phase of collaboration. "We must build mutual trust and dispel misgivings," He said, urging candid communication based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
The vice premier also called on members of the U.S. Congress to act as conduits for enhanced dialogue, opening channels that can foster shared growth. As Washington and Beijing engage in frank conversations, industries and innovators across G20 nations will be watching closely.
