Beijing and Washington gain deeper understanding of each other's concerns
Beijing and Washington could work together on combating COVID-19 pandemic and other most pressing tasks facing the world, and develop a relationship featuring mutually beneficial cooperation rather than zero-sum competition, senior Chinese diplomats said at the first China-US high-level strategic dialogue that concluded Friday.

Senior diplomat says bilateral relations should be based on working together

ANCHORAGE, the United States -- China has never accepted and will never accept unwarranted accusations from the United States, said Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi here on Thursday.
ANCHORAGE, the United States - The United States should stop its interference in China's internal affairs, and avoid confrontation between the two major countries, said a senior Chinese official here on Thursday.

Chinese and US senior officials are holding the second session of a High-level Strategic Dialogue in Alaska.
The Chinese side has responded solemnly to "unreasonable attacks" made by the US side at the beginning of the bilateral high-level strategic dialogue in Anchorage, Alaska, an official with the Chinese delegation said on Friday.

Attempt by Washington to pressure Beijing ahead of meeting called 'futile'
A Chinese envoy on Wednesday expressed hope that the US will remove "unreasonable restrictions on bilateral cooperation" as the two nations entered a new chapter of diplomatic relations.
It has been said that those who make the fewest mistakes and may expect to prosper most, while following the course to which nature inclines them, act in accordance with the times in which they live.
The United States while certainly acting in accordance with its natural inclinations is doing so as though compelled to forever do what it has done in the past.
