From May 17 to May 18, a new round of Sino-U.S. economic and trade consultations took place in Washington. The two parties conducted positive, constructive, pragmatic and fruitful dialogues, reached consensus in various fields, and took concrete steps toward solving problems. Sexual steps are good news for both China and the US and the global economy.
There was no winner in the trade war. Since the Trump administration implemented the '232 measure' and launched the 'Section 301' investigation, the world has been deeply worried about the possibility that the two major economies of China and the United States could fall into a trade war. 'Do not want to play' or 'Do not play'. The sound of reason is endless.
The economic and trade relations of equality and mutual benefit are the 'ballasting stones' of Sino-U.S. relations. Their essence is win-win cooperation. As the largest developing country, the world’s largest production base and huge consumer market, China’s energy, high-tech products, agricultural products There is a strong demand in other areas, and the United States has certain advantages in these areas and is very complementary to China.
For example, China's import of oil and gas from the United States is not only a beneficial supplement to China's natural gas gap, but also helps China acquire relevant development experience and enhance its bargaining power in the global natural gas market. Both the 'Thirteenth Five-Year Plan' and the Nineteenth Congress report pointed out that To advance the energy revolution and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. For the United States, the United States can use this commodity export to China to reduce its trade deficit with China, while stimulating jobs and boosting economic development. In addition, the United States and China The two countries have conducted extensive cooperation in renewable energy and energy efficiency and utilization, and will play a central role in the global transition to clean energy.
Let’s look at agriculture again. China and the United States started their agricultural cooperation at the earliest, most effective, and also one of the most promising areas of cooperation. With the increase in the Chinese population from 550 million in 1950 to nearly 1.4 billion, as well as industrialization, urbanization and traffic construction. With the increase of land use, the Chinese market has great demand for agricultural products and agricultural technology. Due to the superior natural endowment, the degree of automation and informationization of agricultural machinery in the United States, and the scale of operations, it has a stable supply capacity. Expansion of agricultural cooperation between China and the United States will help China optimizes food structure, realizes diversified food import layout, and improves arable land protection, and realizes fallow cultivation in some areas. The result is to benefit both peoples.
China’s expansion of imports is not an expedient measure to deal with trade frictions, nor is it forced by external pressure, but is a market behavior and time choice that promotes the long-term development of the country and meets the people’s good life. With the continuous expansion of the middle-income class, China will Become the world's largest market. China not only buys things from the United States, but also imports various types of products from all over the world. In November this year, China will hold its first import expo. So far, more than 80 countries have registered to participate. Many people want to Selling things to China makes the Chinese market highly competitive. If you want to gain a certain market share in China, you need to make the Chinese people happy. If the Chinese people don't buy anything, no matter what the request, it is useless. of.
Both China and the United States have mutual interest claims. It is inevitable that there will be various differences and new issues will emerge. This need not be surprising. The key lies in maintaining calmness and solving problems through dialogue and negotiation instead of intensifying or even losing control in a confrontational manner. The former U.S. official who has long been engaged in US-China relations points out that for any development of relations, the willful attitude taken will not have a constructive effect. Family relations are the same, and relations among nations are the same. Over the past few decades, The United States and the United States have established effective communication channels and dialogue platforms in different fields. This has played a key role in diverging control and control between the two countries and ensuring that bilateral relations do not deviate from the main channel of cooperation and win-win results. The positive results of this consultation have been achieved. This important experience in the development of U.S. relations has once again been recognized.
Not long ago, President Xi Jinping promised in the 'Boao Asia Forum' that the door to China's opening will only grow bigger and bigger, and announced that it will greatly relax market access, create a more attractive investment environment, and strengthen intellectual property protection. The four aspects of expanding imports have put forward a series of major measures for opening up to the outside world, and emphasized that these major measures should be brought to the ground as soon as possible. It is advisable to do so sooner rather than later, and it is advisable not to slow down. Efforts should be made to benefit the Chinese enterprises and people as early as possible by opening up the results and to benefit all countries in the world. Business and people.
China’s economic reforms are accelerating in full speed, expanding the market, expanding openness, promoting domestic reforms, and promoting economic development. This is an important magic weapon for China’s success in the past 40 years. The future will continue in this direction.
