Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng called for expanded cooperation between China and the U.S. during high-level talks this weekend, emphasizing the need to resolve differences through dialogue – because let’s face it, nobody wins a trade war. 💥💸
The meeting, which included U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, focused on implementing agreements from January’s landmark leadership summit. Both sides reached major consensus on creating a new economic consultation mechanism to address ongoing concerns.
He highlighted the "mutually beneficial" nature of U.S.-China trade but didn’t shy away from reality: "Differences are normal between countries with different systems. What matters is how we manage them." 🧩🤝
Key takeaways:
New roadmap to expand cooperation and address disputes
Commitment to keep trade relations stable amid global uncertainties
Agreed to "make the pie bigger" through shared economic goals
While firmly stating China’s readiness to respond if its rights are challenged, He stressed: "Dialogue beats confrontation every time." 📈🌐
