On May 12, China and the United States issued the "Joint Statement on the China-US Geneva Economic and w88 Talks." According to the statement, this high-level economic and w88 talks between China and the United States have made substantial progress, and both sides have significantly reduced bilateral tariff levels.

Regarding the outcome of such talks, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce pointed out that this measure is in line with the expectations of producers and consumers in both countries, and is also in line with the interests of both countries and the common interests of the world.

The Sino-US negotiations have achieved important results, and there are three highlights behind them that cannot be ignored.

Point 1: Pragmatic and efficient

Pragmatism and efficiency are the main features of this Sino-US talk.

Sun Xingjie, a professor at the w88 casino of International Relations at Sun Yat-sen University, said that the Sino-US economic and w88 talks broke down in the first round, which is rare in the history of global w88 negotiations. "In contrast, when the United States negotiates with other trading partners, even after several rounds, such substantive results are rarely achieved."

In fact, the outside world has certain expectations for positive progress in China-US economic and w88 talks. On the evening of the 11th local time, after the talks, both sides told the outside world that the talks had achieved positive results and would issue a joint statement.

However, being able to finalize many major details in a short period of time is still a bit unexpected to the outside world. In this regard,Tu Xinquan, Dean of the China World w88 Organization Research Institute at the w88 casinosaid that in addition to both sides believing that high tariffs are unsustainable, the United States is the more anxious party in this meeting and is more eager to reach a result. Before the talks, the United States took the initiative to issue invitations to negotiate through various channels. The urgency stems from the fact that high tariffs have had a great impact on the United States and require adjustments.

Point 2: Principle of reciprocity

Before the talks, China reiterated many times that the essence of Sino-US economic and w88 relations is mutual benefit and win-win. It is inevitable that China and the United States will have some differences. The key is to respect each other's core interests and major concerns and find appropriate solutions to problems through dialogue and consultation.

Faced with pressure from the United States to impose additional tariffs in multiple rounds, China has always maintained strategic focus, upheld a rational attitude, and taken countermeasures to resolutely safeguard its own interests.

This Sino-US economic and w88 talks reflect the principle of reciprocity in every aspect. For example, the venue for the talks is chosen to be in a third country to avoid home field diplomacy.

The principle of reciprocity is also particularly evident in the negotiation results. First, in terms of tariff concessions, both sides have canceled 91% of tariffs. Second, in disputed areas, both sides have adopted a 90-day suspension of the 24% tariff.

Sun Xingjie said that the principle of reciprocity is one of the prerequisites for Sino-US talks. China and the United States have set the venue for consultations in Geneva, Switzerland, and achieved reciprocity in the negotiation venue through a third-party neutral site. This can also be regarded as an innovative measure of the principle of diplomatic reciprocity.

Tu Xinquan also believes that both China and the United States hope to continue to develop bilateral economic and w88 relations and conduct dialogue based on the principle of reciprocity, and both parties have shown sincerity. "This has laid a good foundation for the next stage of economic and w88 negotiations."

Point 3: Rational cognition

A large number of facts and figures show that in the era of interdependence and globalization, the economic and w88 interests of China and the United States are deeply integrated and complementary to each other. China has stated many times that China and the United States have close economic and w88 exchanges, and there is no question of "who takes advantage and who suffers" between China and the United States.

However, some politicians in the United States often call for "decoupling and breaking the link" with China. Sun Xingjie said that the joint statement issued by the two sides in this meeting directly contradicts the fallacy claimed by some American politicians that "the Chinese and American economies can be separated."

Sun Xingjie pointed out that Sino-US economic and w88 relations are not just a simple interdependence between exports and imports, but also interdependence between supply chains and industrial chains, which can also be understood as a deep mutually nested relationship. The results of this meeting will help the United States establish an objective and rational understanding of Sino-US economic and w88 relations.

“The game between great powers is a protracted war.” The interviewed experts said that the two sides agreed to establish a mechanism to continue consultations on economic and w88 relations during this meeting, which sent a positive signal for subsequent communication and negotiations. But for China, no matter how the United States changes, whether it is fighting or negotiating, China must still adhere to its consistent position, maintain strategic focus and initiative, and safeguard its own development interests.
