On November 10, 2026, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng said in his remarks at the Gala Dinner 2026 Celebrating 60 Years of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations that it is important to stay true to the original mission, and keep to the right course. The new characterization of a “constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability” is grounded in history and reality, looks ahead to the future, and charts the path for major countries to find a right way to get along. We need to faithfully implement our Presidents’ important consensus, and translate the vision into concrete action at a faster pace. We need to adhere to the red lines with respect, engage in a race to the top under the principle of fairness, and promote mutual benefit in the spirit of reciprocity, so as to advance the steady, sound, and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations.
