China News Service, Beijing, January 16 (Reporter Li Jingze and Liang Xiaohui) Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng delivered a keynote speech at the 2023 Macro Situation Annual Forum and the Fourth China Think Tank International Influence Forum on the 16th, saying that promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind , we must assume common responsibilities and do our best to maintain international strategic stability.

　　Xie Feng said, "The whole world is in the same hot and cold weather." In an era of intertwined events, all countries need to help each other in the same boat.

As the top two economies and permanent members of the Security Council, China and the United States share broad common interests and shoulder special and important responsibilities in maintaining world peace and stability and promoting global development and prosperity.

Sino-US relations go beyond the bilateral scope and have a bearing on the future and destiny of the world.

Cooperation between China and the United States will benefit both and the world; confrontation will hurt both and the world will suffer.

Promoting the healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations is a real responsibility to the people of the two countries and the world.

　　Xie Feng said that the world is watching what happens between China and the United States.

Whether viewed from the vertical axis of the development process since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States 44 years ago, or the horizontal axis of the current world's major changes unseen in a century, we should adopt an attitude of being responsible to history, the world, and the people, and find ways to benefit both countries and benefit the world. The right way to deal with the world.

　　Xie Feng said that head-of-state diplomacy is the "compass" and "fixing star" of Sino-US relations, and plays an irreplaceable strategic leading role in the development of bilateral relations.

Since 2021, President Xi Jinping has met and called President Biden six times.

China and the United States must fully implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state.

　　Xie Feng said that on the basis of profoundly summarizing the experience and lessons of historical development, President Xi Jinping pointed out the correct direction for the development of Sino-US relations, that is, mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.

　　Mutual respect is the prerequisite for Sino-US exchanges and interactions.

China and the United States should recognize the differences in each other's social systems and development paths, and respect these differences, instead of trying to change or even subvert each other's systems.

China welcomes the United States to maintain prosperity and development, and the United States should also respect the rights of the Chinese people to pursue a better life.

　　Peaceful coexistence is the bottom line that China and the United States must stick to.

Once China and the United States conflict and confront, whether it is a cold war, a hot war, a trade war, or a technological war, it will eventually damage the interests of China, the United States and the rest of the world.

Defining China as "the most important geopolitical threat", creating a "small circle" against China, following the example of the former Soviet Union to suppress China, and enclosing China through geopolitics such as the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" is doomed. In vain.

　　Win-win cooperation is the goal that both parties should strive for.

As the largest developing country and the largest developed country, China and the United States have extensive common interests in bilateral and multilateral fields. There are many things that can and should be cooperated. The two sides should strive to make the list of cooperation longer and longer instead of shortening and shortening.

Cooperation should take care of each other's concerns, give and take; it should be mutually beneficial, equal and balanced; it should benefit the whole world and benefit the world.

　　Xie Feng said that President Biden has repeatedly reiterated to President Xi Jinping that the United States does not seek to change the Chinese system, does not seek a "new Cold War", does not seek to strengthen alliances against China, does not support "Taiwan independence", and does not support "two Chinas". Or "one China, one Taiwan" does not seek to use the Taiwan issue as a tool to contain China, has no intention of conflict with China, has no intention of seeking "decoupling" from China, has no intention of hindering China's economic development, has no intention of hindering China's technological progress, and has no intention of enclosing China.

China attaches great importance to these statements and requires the United States to take action and implement them.

　　Xie Feng said that friends from the Chinese and American strategic circles and business circles here have long supported and participated in China-US dialogue and cooperation, and have played an important and valuable role. Stable development continues to contribute wisdom and strength.
