Reference News Network, September 23 report. According to the website of Singapore's Straits Times on September 22, as China and the United States reached a basic framework consensus on issues such as TikTok, a rare delegation of U.S. House members visited China and said that the two countries need to find a way for peaceful coexistence in the world to promote the stable development of bilateral relations.

A bipartisan delegation of U.S. Congress members, led by Democratic Congressman and former Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services Smith, arrived in Beijing on the 21st, marking the first time in six years that a U.S. House delegation has visited China.

Bloomberg reported that this visit is a "breakthrough journey," which will further promote the relationship between the two countries.

Smith stated that the two countries need to find a way for peaceful coexistence in the world. He said that both sides acknowledge that more efforts are needed to strengthen bilateral relations. He said, "We certainly have differences, and these differences will continue to exist. But to solve these issues and ensure we find a peaceful way to handle them, open dialogue is crucial."

According to an Associated Press report on September 21, Smith, a Democratic member of the House Committee on Armed Services, stated that both sides have reached an agreement on the overall goals of this visit.

In his speech, he said, "Of course, trade and the economy are the top priorities... (but) we also place great importance on dialogue between the two militaries."

"China and the United States are the two most powerful and influential countries in the world, and it is crucial that we get along well and find a way to peacefully coexist in the world," Smith said.

In addition, Pakistan's Dawn newspaper believes that Sino-U.S. relations have entered a new stage.

The report pointed out that after the Madrid negotiations last week, both China and the United States stated that they had reached a basic framework consensus on resolving the TikTok issue.

A complete ban on TikTok by the United States is no longer a realistic option: technical barriers are insurmountable, and the application's influence in American society and politics has become deeply rooted. Negotiated arrangements are the only feasible way forward.

The report states that the Madrid negotiations show that China has gradually brought bilateral economic relations back to a relatively normal track through countermeasures.

At the same time, Beijing is advancing its own agenda, not only to resist tariff pressures but also to build a more balanced, equal, and stable economic relationship, which marks a new stage in Sino-U.S. relations.

Analysts point out that the three principles proposed by China—mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation—are gradually taking effect. (Translated by Pan Xiaoyan)
