China News Agency, Washington, February 21. Cui Tiankai, Chinese Ambassador to the United States, said on the 21st that at the beginning of the Chinese New Year of the Ox, it is time to discuss the future of Sino-US relations. Sino-US relations urgently need to be corrected and are at the threshold of reorganization.

  On the 22nd, Beijing time, "Dialogue and Cooperation, Controlling Differences-Promoting Sino-US Relations Back on Track", the Blue Hall Forum was held in the form of a video conference.

Cui Tiankai made the above remarks in his speech at the forum.

  Focusing on Sino-US relations, Cui Tiankai focused on three points: China and the United States must accurately understand and grasp each other’s strategic intentions; they must truly understand and respect each other’s history, culture and development path; the two sides must communicate frankly, clarify policy boundaries, and effectively manage differences. , Focus on cooperation.

  Cui Tiankai pointed out that some people in the U.S. might have to go to their hearts and minds when they look at China, and come out of the dark room to see the sun.

Don’t speculate on imaginary enemies and make “self-fulfilling prophecies”; don’t cling to the old thinking of zero-sum game and indulge in the “fate” of Thucydides trap; let alone pretend to be confused and put domestic political struggles or even selfish interests on the ground. China and the United States live in peace and the world develops together on top of the "righteousness" and "great benefits".

In short, strategic cognition must be correct, otherwise it will only replace one mistake with another.

  Cui Tiankai said that the key to understanding an ancient civilization like China is naturally the history and culture, including her gene of "harmony" and the tradition of Dajida people.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

Recognizing this century is crucial to understanding China’s past, present and future.

  He said that the United States often says that the country is based on values ​​and advocates that "all men are created equal."

It is hoped that the United States can correct its mentality, pursue the concept of "birth equality" in all countries, and learn to coexist peacefully with countries with different historical cultures and road systems.

  Cui Tiankai emphasized that if China and the United States have problems, they can bring them to the table for discussion.

First, the nature of the problem must be distinguished, the policy boundary must be clear, and the red line must be drawn.

On issues involving China's sovereignty and territorial integrity such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, etc., China has no room for concession and must stick to the red line.

  Cui Tiankai said that on the basis of respecting each other's core interests, China and the United States should properly manage and control differences that cannot be resolved for the time being in a constructive way to avoid confrontation.

The two countries should conduct in-depth and frank dialogues in various fields, and strengthen coordination and cooperation in responding to global challenges and international and regional issues.
