Unusual! Foreign media have taken notice, the People's Daily has set the tone for the China-US trade negotiations! On October 27, according to a report from Singapore's Straits Times, foreign media have noticed our particular statement. After the end of the China-US negotiations, the People's Daily stated that the results of the China-US consultations are hard-won and need to be jointly maintained by both sides. Our official media also said that as long as China and the US sit down to talk, with an equal, consultative, and constructive stance, they can definitely properly resolve differences and find the right way to coexist.
It also stated that the essence of the China-US trade relationship is mutual benefit and win-win. Both sides benefit when they cooperate, and both suffer when they confront each other. This is a truth repeatedly verified by the development of relations between the two countries over the past several decades, and it is necessary to maintain the stable development of the China-US trade relationship. Obviously, the reason why foreign media have noticed this report from our official media is because even when Sino-US relations once broke down, we still took a very positive position in affirming the importance of Sino-US relations.
Foreign media have clearly noticed that our positioning of the Sino-US relationship is not a zero-sum game of life or death, but rather to find the right way to coexist at present and properly handle differences. Of course, such statements do not deny the tension in Sino-US relations, nor do they avoid the huge differences between the two countries. It is our position that disputes should be resolved through negotiations. Obviously, such a position is responsible and more strategic.
If the differences between the two countries are not resolved through negotiations, the result will either be increasing differences or the differences becoming uncontrollable, eventually leading to military measures as an option. With the current military strength of China and the United States, a military confrontation is unimaginable, and this would certainly not just involve China and the United States. Therefore, our expression of positive signals is to hope that after stabilizing the Sino-US trade relationship, we can further stabilize political and military relations, thus comprehensively easing the tense Sino-US relations, which is also the expectation of the world.
