At the 2024 Gala Dinner of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR) on Tuesday, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng called for collaborative efforts to enhance China-U.S. ties. He emphasized the importance of pooling wisdom and courage to navigate the complexities of the bilateral relationship.
\"To take the China-U.S. relationship forward, it is important to tackle challenges with greater courage,\" Xie stated during his speech. He highlighted the long-standing history of cooperation between the two nations, pointing out that it has historically led to win-win outcomes, fostering peace and stability not only for China and the U.S. but also for the global community.
Ambassador Xie stressed the significance of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation as the foundations for advancing bilateral relations. He underscored that Taiwan is an integral part of China and reiterated the necessity of upholding the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques. Xie firmly rejected any form of \"Taiwan independence,\" asserting that safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait requires concrete actions aligned with these principles.
Recognizing the NCUSCR's pivotal role, Xie expressed appreciation for the organization's contributions to fostering mutually beneficial cooperation and exchanges between China and the U.S. since its establishment in 1966, a period marked by estrangement and hostility between the two nations.
\"Although China-U.S. relations are still facing grave challenges, those who keep caring for and supporting the relationship always abound,\" he concluded, conveying optimism for the future of bilateral ties.
