Speaking at the 2024 National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Gala Dinner, the ambassador emphasized \"mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation\" as the blueprint for future relations.
\"It’s time to tackle challenges with courage,\" Xie stated, reminding attendees that historic breakthroughs—like the 1972 Shanghai Communique—were born from bold collaboration. He highlighted how past cooperation led to economic growth, scientific innovation

benefiting both nations.
The ambassador also addressed regional stability, reaffirming that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. He stressed that maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait requires upholding the one-China principle and rejecting any form of separatist activities.
