China has reaffirmed its commitment to collaborate with the United States on advancing economic and trade relations, emphasizing the importance of dialogue to address differences and expand cooperation. Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian stated on February 26, 2026, that both nations have maintained regular communication through established consultation mechanisms, underscoring progress ahead of the sixth round of bilateral talks.
He highlighted China's willingness to uphold consensus reached during the heads of state meeting in Busan and a February 4 phone call between leaders, calling for joint efforts to ensure stable and sustainable economic ties. "Through equal consultations, we aim to manage disagreements and foster practical collaboration," He said, noting the global significance of healthy China-U.S. relations.
The remarks come amid heightened interest in Asia's economic trajectory this year, with analysts observing that strengthened cross-Pacific engagement could bolster regional supply chains and investor confidence. Businesses and policymakers worldwide are closely monitoring developments, particularly in technology, green energy, and manufacturing sectors where bilateral cooperation has deepened since 2025.
