The "constructive strategic stability relationship" takes shape, marking a new phase in China-US relations!
Trump's visit to China after nine years marks his first trip to China during his second term. The two sides have reached significant consensus and established a new positioning of "constructive strategic stability relationship," providing a stable framework for bilateral ties. Looking back at the past nine years, since 2017, China-US relations have entered a stage of intensified competition, with escalating friction in areas such as trade, economy, and technology. In recent years, China has steadily advanced in scientific and technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and national defense modernization, continuously enhancing its comprehensive strength.
This time, Trump brought along 17 business leaders including Musk and Cook on his visit to China, aiming not only to expand cooperation opportunities and secure orders for American enterprises but also to consolidate his domestic political base by stabilizing relations with China. Meanwhile, China has adopted a rational, pragmatic, and equal approach to promote communication, adhering to the principle of "competing without breaking ties, achieving win-win outcomes through cooperation," thus steering bilateral relations back onto a stable track.
What is meant by "strategic stability" is not about one side compromising—it’s about both sides recognizing reality: cooperation brings mutual benefits, while confrontation harms both. For China and the US to move forward steadily in the future, the key lies in maintaining measured competition and keeping disagreements under control, respecting each other’s bottom lines while not giving up on the benefits of cooperation.
