China reaffirmed its commitment to fostering stable relations with the United States during a press conference on Wednesday, March 4, emphasizing mutual respect and shared interests amid global uncertainties. Lou Qinjian, spokesperson for China's ongoing National People's Congress (NPC) session, stated that both nations must 'create broader space for bilateral cooperation' through enhanced communication at all levels.
The remarks come ahead of Thursday's opening of the NPC's fourth session, where economic policies and diplomatic strategies are expected to dominate discussions. Lou stressed that while China seeks win-win collaboration, it will 'resolutely safeguard its sovereignty, security, and development interests' against any challenges.
Analysts view this balanced approach as critical for addressing pressing issues such as trade stability and climate cooperation in 2026. The NPC session, China's top legislative body, is anticipated to outline concrete measures for managing cross-border partnerships while advancing domestic priorities.
