China and the United States should aim for "normal stability with controllable disagreements" in their relationship, according to a senior Chinese official who urged the two nations to broaden their shared interests to foster positive stability through cooperation. Liu Haixing, head of the Communist Party's International Department, made these remarks at the third US-China Track 1.5 Dialogue, a platform that bridges official diplomacy and non-governmental exchanges between the two countries.
The dialogue, which brought together roughly 40 Chinese and foreign representatives from various sectors, underscored the importance of political mutual trust, cooperative efforts across trade, cultural exchanges, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and food security, while managing differences and addressing global challenges.
The US delegation, led by John Thornton and other key figures, emphasized the unique juncture of bilateral ties and highlighted the rapport between presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump as a vital component of the relationship. Both sides are preparing for a summit in September, but Beijing has expressed frustration with the US administration's lack of planning and coordination, particularly in terms of deliverables for the meeting.
