People's Daily Zhong Sheng: The world expects China-U.S. economic and trade consultations to set a good tone for this year's positive interaction between China and the U.S. economy and trade

People’s Daily publishes an editorial, and on March 13th, a piece of news became a global headline. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on the same day that the 6th round of China-U.S. economic and trade consultations would be held in France. This year is a “big year” for China-U.S. relations, and whether the economic and trade relations between the two sides can continue the steady momentum that the world hopes for is of great significance. In the long run, China’s development and revitalization run parallel with America’s goal of achieving “Greatness Again.” Both China and the U.S. are major powers; they cannot change each other, but they can change the way they interact. Upholding mutual respect, maintaining the bottom line of peaceful coexistence, and striving for a win-win cooperation outlook benefits the interests of both peoples and meets the world’s expectations. China-U.S. economic and trade consultations should be the beginning of a healthy interaction in economic and trade relations in the new year.
