The Sino-US talks conveyed positive signals.
On October 26, Chinese and American officials concluded a two-day negotiation in Kuala Lumpur. US Treasury Secretary Biden said the negotiations established a "very successful framework." US Trade Representative Grull said that after two days of discussions, "some achievements were made"; Li Chenggang, China's Minister of Commerce and Deputy Director-General of the Ministry of Commerce's Negotiation Office, responded that both sides had conducted constructive discussions on a series of issues and explored appropriate solutions; the US side expressed its position firmly, while China remained resolute in safeguarding its interests.
The statements from both sides appeared positive. This meeting continued the main theme of the Sino-US rivalry "compete without breaking." Recently, the US has repeatedly escalated sanctions, using verbal warnings to pressure and try to increase its negotiating leverage. However, China has never been intimidated by extreme pressure or submitted to unilateral bullying, responding with precise countermeasures, and resolutely defending its core national interests, while also reserving a rational space for communication and negotiation.
As the world's two largest economies, the direction of Sino-US relations is crucial to global economic stability. Cooperation benefits both, while confrontation harms both. Sitting down to communicate and negotiate is the correct path to resolving differences. It is hoped that the US will abandon its hegemonic thinking and take an equal, respectful, and mutually beneficial attitude towards China, so that normal cooperation between China and the US can clear obstacles.
