First, China's own development prospects are certain. The upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will plan and formulate China's next development blueprint and goals. China's economy is large enough and resilient enough. China has achieved modernization and more than 1.4 billion people are moving towards common prosperity, which will provide more market and development opportunities for countries around the world, including the United States.
Second, China's determination to reform and opening up is certain. China will continue to deepen reforms, expand opening up, build a new system of higher-level opening up, create an open world economy , and continue to promote economic globalization.
Third, China's policy to the United States is certain. China and the United States have different systems and are the choices of their respective peoples. No one can replace anyone in China and the United States, and no one can defeat anyone. President Xi Jinping put forward the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation between China and the United States. President Biden repeatedly emphasized the "four nos and one unintentional". The key is that the United States should return to its rational and pragmatic China policy as soon as possible.
Fourth, China's attitude of continuing to strengthen economic and trade cooperation between the two countries is certain. China welcomes the development of American companies in China and will continue to provide a market-oriented, international and law-based business environment. China-US economic and trade should do more addition rather than subtraction, hold hands rather than let go, tear down walls instead of building walls. For each other's concerns, we should talk, not confront, and negotiate, not coerce. The US should stop unilateral sanctions without international law and stop excluding "small groups" and "small circles" that exclude China.
5: China's willingness to carry out multilateral coordination with the United States is certain. history has and will continue to prove that Sino-US cooperation can accomplish many major events that are beneficial to both countries and the world. To this end, we must maintain the political foundation of Sino-US relations, especially to earnestly abide by the one-China principle.
