Chinese FM hopes US business community will contribute to bilateral ties
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with a delegation of the U.S.- China Business Council (USCBC) in Beijing on July 22, voicing the hope that the U.S. business community will make new contributions to the development of China-U.S. relations.
The delegation led by Raj Subramaniam, board chair of the USCBC, is on a week-long visit to China. This marks the first visit by a U.S. business group following the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
The delegation includes representatives from major companies like Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Micron, and Qualcomm, all of which have substantial business interests in China.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, reiterated China's firm stance on comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese modernization.
He expressed the hope that the U.S. business community will continue to work hand in hand with China to not only achieve greater development for itself but also make new contributions to the development of China-U.S. relations and the friendship between the two peoples.
"We follow the right path chosen by the Chinese people. We will neither copy foreign models nor export Chinese models. We are ready to strengthen exchanges and integration with other countries on the basis of equality and mutual respect," said Wang.
"China's policy toward the United States has been consistent and stable. We always hope to handle affairs with the United States in accordance with the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. We have always been committed to strengthening cooperation with the United States, managing differences, strengthening and expanding dialog and cooperation, and striving to make China-U.S. relations stable and sound and move forward," he said.
Wang said it is hoped that the USCBC and its member companies will make full use of their connections and influence to present an accurate, multi-dimensional and comprehensive picture of China, and make more objective, positive and rational voices to promote a correct understanding of China in the United States, stop the repression of China's economy, trade and technology, and effectively resolve the obstacles that hinder people-to-people and cultural exchanges to promote the steady and sound development of China-U.S. relations.
The U.S. delegation said that the plenum is expected to stimulate a new round of economic reform, further opening up in China, and attract more sustainable foreign investment.
They said the U.S. business community is confident in continuing to deepen its cooperation with China and looks forward to further deepening bilateral cooperation in fields such as economy, trade, investment, green development, health, education and people-to-people exchanges.
"All of us here, all the leaders here, are deeply invested in fostering a strong and balanced U.S.- China relationship, which is in the interests of both countries," said Raj Subramaniam, also president and CEO of FedEx Corporation.
USCBC is willing to actively exert its influence and role and act as a stabilizing force for developing U.S.-China relations, according to the U.S. delegation.
