　　Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang emphasized at this year's foreign ministers' press conference during the two sessions that Sino-US relations are not a multiple-choice question of whether to do well, but a "must-answer question" of how to do well.

　　"A healthy and stable Sino-US relationship has a bearing on the future and destiny of the people of the two countries and our planet." Regarding how to do a good job in Sino-US relations, which is a "must-answer question", observers here believe that three voices should be listened to.

　　One is the voice of mutual benefit and win-win development.

　　"Although some American politicians advocate the comprehensive 'decoupling' of the Chinese and American economies, the 'ballast stone' between the two countries has always been there, and the bilateral trade volume between China and the United States is still rising." Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, School of International Relations, Renmin University of China Chief Yang Guangbin told a reporter from China News Agency.

　　Data show that the total trade in goods between the US and China will reach US$690.6 billion in 2022, a record high.

The American Chamber of Commerce in China stated last year that it firmly opposes the complete "decoupling" of China and the United States and supports the expansion of tariff exemptions for China. It also pointed out that the Chinese market has a strong R&D and innovation ecosystem and is an important source of income for many leading US companies.

On March 7, the First Session of the 14th National People's Congress held a press conference in the multi-functional hall of the Media Center in Beijing. Foreign Minister Qin Gang answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on issues related to "China's foreign policy and foreign relations."

　　"China is becoming the world's largest market and an important application scenario for various cutting-edge and emerging technologies." Wang Hao, an associate professor at the Center for American Studies at Fudan University, told reporters that the US's "decoupling" of technology from China will inevitably lead to the loss of US high-tech companies. China is an important overseas market.

　　Wang Hao also said that China is a key link in the global supply chain system, and "decoupling" from China means restructuring the entire global supply chain system, resulting in a substantial increase in the costs of production, sales, logistics and other links.

"The U.S. violates economic laws for political and strategic purposes, which will inevitably make countries bear the price and have a significant negative impact on the global economy."

　　The second is the voice of rational and pragmatic think tanks.

　　Wang Hao noticed that in the context of the two parties in the United States forming a strategic consensus on being tough on China and containing China and the rise of populism, the more pragmatic and rational policy recommendations of some American think tanks are often labeled as "weak to China" and "betrayal of American interests." "Tag of.

　　"The political economy of the United States is undergoing unprecedented changes. The three years of the epidemic have hindered exchanges between China and the United States, and it is difficult to have a clear understanding of each other." Zhao Mei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a researcher at the Institute of American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "We It is necessary to restart exchanges, let domestic scholars go out, invite foreign scholars in, and enhance mutual understanding.”

　　Zhao Mei said that there are still some people of insight in the United States who are still actively engaged in the work of maintaining communication with China. Get back on track."

　　The third is the voice of the people for friendly blind dates.

　　"The American people, like the Chinese people, are enthusiastic, friendly, and simple, and they all pursue a happy life and a better world." Qin Gang pointed out that what determines Sino-US relations should be the common interests, common responsibilities, and friendship between the two peoples.

　　Lin Songtian, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said in an interview with the media that at a time when Sino-US relations are facing difficulties, it is particularly important and urgent for localities and non-governmental organizations of the two countries to actively carry out face-to-face mutual visits, exchanges and dialogues in order to find out Common interests and common challenges, and jointly respond to create conditions for the return of Sino-US relations to rationality.

　　"People-to-people exchanges are an extremely important social foundation for the development of political relations between China and the United States." Wang Hao pointed out that personnel exchanges between China and the United States should be resumed as soon as possible, and efforts should be made to deepen and expand cooperation between China and the United States, including climate change, food security, Strengthen cooperation on a series of regional and global issues such as the North Korean nuclear issue and the Iranian nuclear issue, maximize hedging competition, and prevent the relationship between the two countries from being completely dominated by competition.
