US urged to take actions to stabilize ties

Beijing urged Washington on Tuesday to take more actions conducive to stabilizing bilateral ties, and expressed the hope that the new United States government will make a good start in China-US interactions over the next four years. As the US government is in a transitional period, Wang said the direction of bilateral ties depends on the choice of the US and requires efforts from both sides. China will remain committed to improving and developing bilateral ties in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, regardless of changes within the US, Wang said. Xi emphasized that China's goal of stable, healthy and sustainable Sino-US ties remains unchanged; its commitment to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation as principles for handling bilateral ties remains unchanged; its position of resolutely safeguarding sovereignty, security and development interests remains unchanged; and its desire to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American peoples remains unchanged. Those not only represent an authoritative interpretation of China's policy toward the US, but also reflect expectations for future bilateral relations, Wang said.
