On November 15, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden held a significant summit in San Francisco. President Xi highlighted that mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation—lessons gleaned from 50 years of China-U.S. relations and historical conflicts between major countries—should guide the future endeavors of both nations. He emphasized the need for a new vision and the construction of five pillars to strengthen China-U.S. relations.
In the bustling streets of New York City, local residents shared their thoughts on the future of China-U.S. relations. Many believe that the foundation lies in enhancing people-to-people exchanges. “Building understanding at a personal level is crucial,” said one New Yorker. Others expressed hope for increased collaboration in science and technology, considering it a vital area for mutual growth and innovation between the two countries.
The sentiments of the American people reflect a desire for deeper connections beyond political dialogues. Strengthening cultural ties and technological partnerships may pave the way for a more stable and prosperous relationship, aligning with the visions set forth by the leaders at the San Francisco summit.
