China and the United States need to strengthen contact, communication and dialogue

Speaking of Sino-US relations, Qin Gang said that his task is to strengthen communication and dialogue with all walks of life in the United States.

Qin Gang said that the current Sino-US relations are still in a very difficult period, requiring a lot of effort and a lot of work. Not long ago, President Xi Jinping had a phone call with President Biden. This was a very timely and very important call between the heads of state. During the call, President Xi Jinping gave a very comprehensive and clear explanation of China’s principles and principles on Sino-US relations. Positions and propositions.

President Xi Jinping emphasized that Sino-US relations are not a multiple-choice question of whether to do a good job, but a must-answer question of how to do a good job. President Xi Jinping also emphasized that on the basis of respecting each other’s core concerns and properly managing differences, relevant departments of the two countries can continue to engage in dialogue and promote coordination and cooperation on climate change, epidemic prevention and control, economic recovery, and major international and regional issues.

Qin Gang said that his task is to strengthen communication and dialogue with all walks of life in the United States to do a good job of this mandatory question raised by President Xi Jinping.

There are still many people from all walks of life in the U.S. who support China-U.S. exchanges

Talking about the work since taking office as the ambassador, Qin Gang believes that China and the United States are “running in” and are looking for a new way to get along. He himself will work to make this running in a more stable and less intense way.

Qin Gang said that he has met many people from all walks of life in the United States in the two months since he took office. He deeply realized that there are still many people in the United States who support the development of Sino-US relations and support the strengthening of exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States. . Many people clearly oppose the decoupling of China and the United States and the confrontation between China and the United States, especially in the business, education, civil, and local communities in the United States. This voice and desire can be felt very strongly. They hope that Sino-US relations can get better as soon as possible. But at the same time, he also felt that the prejudice and misunderstanding of China still existed widely, and even some people did not want to see that China was good, and they did not want to see a good Sino-US relationship. These people, their energy and voice are still not small.

The U.S. must realize that cooperation between China and the U.S. will benefit both, while fighting will hurt both

They firmly believe that pressure and confrontation on China will not work.

China and the United States are looking for a new way to get along with each other

Qin Gang said that the development of Sino-US relations is a process of running-in between the two sides. The two Chinese characters-”grind” and “combine”, “grind” is friction, and “combine” is actually how to get along with each other in the end. There is an old saying in China that “no deal can’t be done”. This running-in is still in progress. Rediscovering the other party and recognizing the other party through running-in, so as to find a way to get along with each other. This is what China advocates. Qin Gang believes that China and the United States should respect each other, cooperate for a win-win situation, and coexist peacefully. Diplomacy is actually running-in. Diplomacy is dealing with all kinds of people from all over the world. Qin Gang believes that China and the United States are now in such a running-in period, and his task is simply to shorten the running-in period between China and the United States as much as possible, to make this running-in process as less violent and accidental as possible, and more lubricated and unexpected. .

Look forward to the embassy and the Chinese media to form a joint effort to improve Sino-US relations together

Qin Gang said that the headquarter North America Terminal is loyal to its duties and holding its ground, and has done a solid job to promote mutual understanding between the two peoples, to tell the Chinese story, and to spread the voice of China.

Qin Gang also said that the embassy in the United States will further commit itself to improving Sino-US relations, and at the same time, as always, be a strong backing for everyone and create favorable conditions for Chinese media to work in the United States. He expects that the embassy and the media will strengthen ties, form a joint force, and work together to improve Sino-US relations.
