Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng emphasized the importance of stable economic cooperation between China and the United States during a meeting with senior representatives from the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR) in Beijing on Wednesday. The discussions come as both nations navigate complex global economic challenges in 2025.
He, who also serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted the "broad space for economic and trade cooperation" between the world's two largest economies. He called for sustained implementation of agreements reached during the landmark Busan meeting between Chinese and U.S. leaders earlier this year, urging both sides to "strengthen cooperation and manage differences."
The U.S. delegation, led by NCUSCR Executive Vice Chair Evan Greenberg and President Stephen Orlins, acknowledged the critical importance of maintaining stable bilateral relations. They expressed commitment to fostering dialogue and serving as a bridge for enhanced economic collaboration.
This high-level exchange follows recent efforts to stabilize cross-Pacific ties, with business leaders and policymakers increasingly advocating for pragmatic cooperation amid global market uncertainties. Observers note that 2025 could prove pivotal for reshaping supply chain dynamics and addressing shared challenges in green energy development.
