relations and international and regional dynamics.

We both believe that the China-U.S.

relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world.

We must make it work and never mess it up.

Both China and the United States stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation.

Currently, transformation not seen in a century is accelerating across the globe and the international situation is fluid and turbulent.

The world has come to a new crossroads.

Can China and the United States overcome the Thucydides trap?

Can we, in the interests of the well-being of our two peoples and the future of humanity, build a brighter future together for our bilateral relations?

These are the questions vital to history, to the world, and to the people.

As two distinctive countries, our two sides may have different views or differences on some issues.

This is only natural.

The key is to properly handle and manage them.

There is far more common interest between our two countries than differences.
