[Li Qiang meets with a delegation from the Board of Directors of the U.S.-China Business Council] On the afternoon of September 1, Premier Li Qiang met with a delegation led by John McCain, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the U.S.-China Business Council, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Li Qiang said that the US-China Business Council has long been committed to promoting Sino-US relations and economic and trade cooperation and has played an important role. With the joint efforts of China and the United States, the current relations between the two countries remain generally stable. In May this year, President Xi Jinping and President Trump met in Beijing and reached a series of important consensuses. China is willing to work with the United States to follow the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, strengthen dialogue and communication, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, properly manage differences, promote the construction of a constructive strategic and stable relationship between China and the United States, and strive for more practical results. Li Qiang pointed out that looking at the development of today's international economic and trade cooperation, we can draw some important revelations. It can be said that win-win cooperation is the general trend, respect and understanding are the foundation, and meeting each other halfway is the key. The essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win results. Strengthening cooperation is the inherent need of both parties and is also the right choice. Looking at the world, China may be the only market with great potential that has both the characteristics of "big" and "new". In particular, high-quality and upgraded consumption such as smart consumption and green consumption are growing rapidly. U.S. companies are welcome to actively seize opportunities and intensify efforts to explore and deepen the Chinese market. Sino-US economic and trade cooperation is huge, and it is normal for some conflicts and conflicts to arise. As long as we respect each other, understand each other and strengthen communication and consultation, we can always find a solution. China is willing to actively promote the resolution of the reasonable demands of U.S. companies in China and maintain a market environment of fair competition in accordance with the law. We also hope that the U.S. will meet each other halfway, take concrete actions to address China's concerns, and jointly implement the results of the economic and trade consultations between the two countries. It is hoped that the U.S.-China Business Council will continue to exert its influence, guide all walks of life in the United States to view China's development rationally and objectively, and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of Sino-U.S. relations. McCain and other Americans said that the U.S.-China relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world today. The successful meeting between the two heads of state provided stable expectations for bilateral economic and trade cooperation and injected certainty into world economic development. The U.S. business community is full of confidence in the implementation of China's "15th Five-Year Plan" and its economic development prospects. It will continue to deepen its efforts in China, expand investment in China, and firmly be a long-term partner for China's development and a constructive force in U.S.-China relations. The U.S.-China Business Council is willing to play a bridge role to enhance mutual understanding, mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries, and promote the development of constructive, strategic and stable relations between the two countries.
