China-US Constructive Strategic Relations No Mere Slogan, Says Top Diplomat

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized that the constructive and stable strategic relations between China and the United States are more than just a slogan, representing a concrete goal for both nations. Following an agreement between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, this new concept of strategic stability is set to guide bilateral relations over the next three years and beyond. Wang Yi stated that both Beijing and Washington must translate this framework into specific policies and practical measures to open a new chapter in cooperation. The diplomat highlighted the importance of managing differences to prevent sharp fluctuations in relations, urging both sides to honor commitments and meet halfway. He described peaceful coexistence as the greatest common denominator, warning against the catastrophic consequences of conflict or confrontation. Key to this stability, according to Wang, is respecting each other’s social systems, core interests, and development paths while adhering to the three China-US joint communiques. This approach aims to provide greater certainty for both countries' development and the broader international situation, a stance reportedly received positively by the global community.
