Inject more stability into the world
Recently, with the joint efforts of both sides, Sino-US relations have shown a momentum of stopping the decline and stabilizing. The international community expects China and the United States to continue to promote mutually beneficial cooperation on the basis of their return to Bali and San Francisco, and work together to address global challenges for the benefit of both countries and the world.
Forbes News pointed out that the San Francisco meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state will bring hope for improving bilateral relations and moving toward stability. According to the report, it is of great significance for resolving disputes, better understanding each other's views, and promoting an atmosphere of cooperation and engagement rather than confrontation.
According to an analysis by CNBC, the main goal of China and the United States is to show the world that the two countries can be rational and pragmatic stewards of bilateral relations, while showing their image as responsible powers. The U.S.-China summit in San Francisco will provide an opportunity to inject stability into today's unstable world.
Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" noted that in recent times, the United States has continuously sent officials to visit China in an attempt to ease bilateral relations. As we approach the 30th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, the interaction between China and the United States has become more frequent, making people dizzy. Whether Sino-US relations can stop falling and stabilize with the San Francisco meeting between the two heads of state has attracted much attention.
The South China Morning Post also noted that the areas of recent engagement between China and the United States are "broad and rich" beyond "the financial and commercial tracks". The report quoted expert analysis as saying that a series of high-level interactions showed positive signs that bilateral relations were improving. U.S.-China relations will remain stable for some time, with a greater focus on cooperation.

We will bring China-US relations back on the track of sound development
China and the United States are the world's two largest economies, with more than one-third of the world's total economy, nearly one-quarter of the world's total population, and one-fifth of the world's bilateral trade. Strengthening cooperation between China and the United States and bringing economic and trade relations back to the track of sound and stable development will undoubtedly contribute to global economic recovery and development.
The Associated Press reported that China and the United States are the two economic powers in the world. The upcoming summit between the Chinese and US heads of state in San Francisco could have global implications. Especially in recent years, the world has suffered from many crises such as inflation and the new crown epidemic. The easing of Sino-US relations will benefit the global economy.
The Russian Sputnik news agency noted that in recent months, high-level contacts between China and the United States have been expanding, creating favorable conditions for the upcoming meeting between the two heads of state in San Francisco. According to the report's analysis, the US economy is unstable, and under such conditions, it is very important for the United States to develop economic and trade relations with China. The United States has realized that "decoupling and breaking the chain" will not only fail to stop China's development, but will also harm its own interests.
The New York Times reported that the Biden administration has sent a number of senior officials to China in 2023 to show that it does not seek to sever economic ties with China. The report quoted US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen as saying that "decoupling" will cause damage to the United States and China and undermine world stability. Yellen believes that the United States and China should strive to build a healthy economic relationship. (ENDS)
