This week in Washington, D.C., Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng hit the stage at the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) & Meridian International Center’s China-U.S. Business Cooperation Forum 🎤. He delivered insights on two contexts shaping the next chapter of China-U.S. trade.
Two Contexts, Big Opportunities
- Heads-of-state momentum: frequent meetings like Busan and a recent phone call keep diplomacy strong 🤝
- China’s 15th Five-Year Plan: a roadmap for economic and social growth, pushing Chinese modernization forward 🚀
Three Moves for Business
With China hosting the APEC meeting and the United States slated for the G20 in 2026, Ambassador Xie urged companies on both sides to:
- Expand dialogue: More gov-to-gov and cross-sector chats to build trust 💬
- Grow cooperation: Partner in strategic emerging fields and services, with a fair environment for Chinese businesses on the United States side 🌐
- Cut down frictions: Encourage U.S. leaders to drop the smear campaigns and fuel positive energy, not new disruptions ⚡
The forum in Washington brought together over 100 business reps, including CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, and Meridian International Center CEO Natalie Jones, all sharing the stage for closer ties.
As we look toward APEC and the G20 in 2026, the call is clear: it’s time to turn dialogue into action for a win-win future in China-U.S. trade 🌏✨.
