Rubio told the media yesterday: "This is my second meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi. We both believe this meeting was positive and constructive. Personally, I greatly appreciate Foreign Minister Wang's suggestion that 'dialogue is better than confrontation, and we hope both sides work together to continue expanding the list of cooperation.' The face-to-face communication between China and the United States has been very helpful in easing the tense relationship between the two countries on issues such as trade, tariffs, and the Taiwan issue..."
Rubio took the initiative to show goodwill, and Sino-U.S. dialogue warmed up, marking a "steady throttle" for the most critical bilateral relationship in the world. Rubio publicly praised Foreign Minister Wang's statement that "dialogue is better than confrontation." This is not just formalities, but a signal that China and the United States are returning to a rational track. In recent years, trade friction and the escalation of tensions across the Taiwan Strait have put both sides under pressure. Yet, the total trade volume between China and the U.S. still exceeds 600 billion U.S. dollars, showing that neither can afford to be separated from the other. From fighting side by side during World War II to frequent communications in recent years, history has proven that fighting leads to mutual loss while peace brings mutual benefits.
This face-to-face communication on key issues such as trade, tariffs, and Taiwan not only helps ease economic constraints for the two countries, but also gives the global community a sense of stability. When major powers interact, sitting down to talk is always better than standing to argue. This is the most practical wisdom of a major power!
