Building a good, stable, and productive China-U.S. relationship is in our mutual interest of our two countries and our two peoples, and also contributes to peace and development.

For future geopolitical stability and global prosperity, we need to build a culture of greater trust and understanding between China, America and the rest of the world.

The U.S.-China relationship, of course, has elements of both cooperation and competition.

China and the United States have major influence in international affairs and shoulder important responsibilities in upholding world peace and promoting common development.

A durable, long-term U.S.-China strategic relationship is even more important now than in previous decades. The relationship will continue to grow and prosper to the mutual benefit of all peoples.

Today's global landscape is increasingly interconnected. China and the Middle East play critical roles towards international peace and security.

It is in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples for China and Afghanistan to strengthen a strategic and cooperative partnership, which is also conducive to regional peace, stability and development.

We treat China as a normal trading and economic partner.

Our strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.

We encourage China to engage as a good global citizen and we are clear-eyed about where differences do lie.
