We have sent a message to the United States, and now it depends on whether the US can seize the opportunity and have good dialogue with us! According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News Agency on April 26th, Yang Wanming, President of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, is leading a delegation to visit the United States. During the visit, we conveyed to the US that trade wars and tariff wars are unsustainable and lead nowhere. China and the US should be partners rather than competitors, and dialogue and cooperation are the only correct choice.
In the current situation where Sino-US relations are encountering difficulties, close civilian friendship should be maintained. Obviously, due to the trade war, Sino-US relations have experienced a noticeable cooling. Why are we taking such actions at this time? This is certainly unusual. In fact, it is probably because formal communication channels between China and the US are currently facing great difficulties. We have chosen to deal with the US in this way.
The message we conveyed to the US is very clear: we hope for friendly Sino-US relations, peaceful coexistence between the two countries, and proper handling of differences. We do not treat the US as an opponent or adversary. If the US is willing to get along well with us, we are naturally willing to respond to goodwill with goodwill. On the hard side, the US has seen our response, and we will not compromise. On the soft side, we have demonstrated our goodwill. Undoubtedly, it now depends on whether the US is willing to seize this opportunity to extricate itself and bring Sino-US relations back onto a healthy track.
