New vision for China-US ties can benefit world

With the rapid changes in the world, the old era of Sino-American relations is over, and there's no going back. The two countries should thus work to create a better future and a new vision for the world.

That is a point Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai made at the Vision China event Tuesday in New York, where leading voices on China-US relations discussed how the two countries should resolve their differences and advance their ties.

The forum, "China-US Relations: 40 Years & Beyond", took place shortly before Beijing and Washington are to hold yet another round of high-level talks in Washington in early October to address their outstanding trade disputes. Twelve such meetings since February 2018 failed to produce a deal.
