On June 29, Mr. Wang Chao, President of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), delivered opening remarks at the China-U.S. Non-Government Leaders Dialogue.
Wang Chao pointed out that last November, President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden had a successful meeting in Bali and reached important common understandings, which pointed the way forward for China-U.S. relations. Unfortunately, since the beginning of this year, the development of China-U.S. relations has deviated from the expected track, suffering from shocks and various twists and turns. To stabilize and improve China-U.S. relations as soon as possible serves the fundamental interests of the two peoples and the shared aspiration of the international community. The key to stopping the decline and achieving steady and sustained development of the bilateral relations is to find the right way for the two countries to get along. As President Xi Jinping put forward, this right “way” in our opinion is mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. These should be the fundamental guiding principles for the development of China-U.S. relations.
Wang Chao said that mutual respect is the fundamental principle in dealing with relations among nations, peaceful coexistence is the bottom line that both sides must adhere to, and win-win cooperation is a common goal pursued by both sides. China respects the interests of the U.S. and will not challenge or replace the U.S.. Similarly, the U.S. should also respect China and not harm China’s legitimate rights and interests. Some Americans always have doubts about China’s development and strategic intentions, and are obsessed with hyping up the allegation that China’s success brings shock and poses threat to the U.S. and other Western countries, which is completely unfounded. A prominent feature of Chinese civilization is its peaceful nature. The Chinese people do not have the genes of “hegemony and expansion”, and it is not in our development logic to go down the path where a powerful state turns hegemonic. China and the U.S. share broad and important common interests, and the success of each is an opportunity rather than a threat to the other. This has been the true story of the development of China-U.S. relations over the past 50 years. From the 20th CPC National Congress last October to the Two Sessions of the NPC and the CPPCC in March this year, we have mapped out a grand blueprint for the development of next five years and beyond. We will provide new opportunities for global development through the new accomplishments of Chinese modernization, and we also welcome countries around the world including the U.S. to continue to share China’s development dividends.
