In a significant step toward diplomatic stabilization, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has expressed China's readiness to work with the United States to improve bilateral ties, emphasizing the importance of faithfully implementing common understandings reached by the two nations' heads of state.
Speaking in Beijing during a meeting with a visiting delegation of US senators led by Steve Daines, Wang—who also serves as a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee—highlighted the symbolic weight of the visit. This marks the first bipartisan delegation of US senators to visit the Chinese mainland since President Donald Trump took office.
Wang encouraged the delegation to experience the current momentum of development within the country, suggesting that such visits help build essential bridges of communication and explore new avenues for cooperation. By doing so, both nations can inject fresh impetus into a sustainable and sound relationship.
Underscoring the global implications of the partnership, the Foreign Minister noted that China-US ties are not merely bilateral but bear directly on the stability of the world and the well-being of the people in both countries.
According to Wang, China's policy remains consistent: the foundation of the relationship must be mutual respect, guided by the principle of peaceful coexistence, with the ultimate goal of win-win cooperation. He emphasized that finding the right path for two major powers to coexist is critical for maintaining global peace and stability.
Reflecting on the progress made over the past year, Wang recalled multiple phone calls and an in-person meeting between the two heads of state, which served to steer the relationship through critical moments. China, he affirmed, stands ready to ensure that bilateral ties continue to move forward on a constructive and stable track.
