Chinese Premier Li Qiang met with visiting U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Tuesday in Beijing, calling on both sides to enhance mutually-beneficial cooperation.
During the meeting, Li highlighted the significant consensus reached between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden during their meeting in Bali, Indonesia last year. The Chinese premier emphasized mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation as the right approach for fostering positive China-U.S. relations.
Li urged the U.S. side to work with China to take more practical and beneficial actions to maintain and develop the bilateral ties.
Li said the economic and trade relations between China and the United States are mutually beneficial and win-win in nature. Politicizing economic and trade issues and overstretching the concept of security will not only seriously affect bilateral relations and mutual trust, but also undermine the interests of enterprises and people of the two countries, and will have a disastrous impact on the global economy.
Noting that China is the largest developing country and the United States is the largest developed country, Li said the two sides should strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation, reduce friction and confrontation, and jointly promote world economic recovery and cope with global challenges.
For her part, Raimondo said the Biden administration supports China's economic development and improvement of people's livelihood, adding that it has no intention to contain China's development and does not seek to decouple from China.
The U.S. is willing to maintain communication and normal economic and trade relations with China, and promote the steady development of bilateral relations, said Raimondo.
The U.S. side is also willing to strengthen cooperation with China in such areas as artificial intelligence, climate change and combating fentanyl, she said.
