Xi Jinping calls on US and China to create greater trust as high-level talks between two nations start in Beijing

President Xi Jinping has said China and the United States should cultivate mutual trust and properly handle their differences as he kicked off the annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the two nations in Beijing.

“We should enhance the mutual trust between our two countries,” Xi said in opening remarks on Monday morning.

He also called for both sides to have regular contact to establish “fundamental, strategic, mutual trust”.

The high-level meetings come amid tensions between China and the US over Beijing’s territorial claims in disputed areas of the South China Sea.

US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter has said China is erecting a “Great Wall of self isolation” in its policies over the disputed waters, while Beijing has accused Washington of destabilising the region with its military presence in the region.

The US military has carried out a series of “freedom of navigation” patrols near Chinese-controlled islands in disputed areas of the South China Sea in recent months, infuriating Beijing.

Xi acknowledged in his comments the inevitable “differences and sensitive issues” between the two major powers, citing differences in their histories, societies and cultures.

“There is no reason to be scared of having differences, the key is not to adopt a confrontational attitude towards any differences,” he said.

“Some differences can be solved through endeavour and both sides should work harder to solve them,’ he said. “Some differences cannot be solved at the moment and both sides should take each others’ actual situations into consideration and take a constructive approach.”

Xi stressed that the Asia-Pacific region should be a “inclusive big platform for cooperation” instead of an “arena for countries to leverage,” calling for the cultivation of a “mutual circle of friends” between China and the US.

“China and the US have extensive mutual interests in the Asia-Pacific region. [We] should hold regular dialogues, cooperation, cope with various challenges and work hard to cultivate a mutual, instead of an exclusive, circle of friends between the two countries,” he said.

State Councillor Yang Jiechi said at the ceremony that China had stepped up consultations with member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to resolve disputes in the South China Sea.

He said China signed a Declaration on the Code of Conduct on the South China Sea with Asean members in 2002 and would continue to use a “dual-track” approach to resolve conflicts.

The dual-track approach refers to resolving disputes through negotiations between the parties directly involved and maintaining security through joint efforts with Asean.

“Based on the principle of the dual-track approach, the South China Sea disputes can be properly resolved,” he said.

Yang said China would stick to the path of peaceful development and expected other countries to do the same.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said at the ceremony that international norms should be upheld in handling disputes over the South China Sea.

“We are looking for a peaceful resolution to the dispute in the South China Sea and oppose any country resolving claims through unilateral action,” he said.

Several nations lay claim to areas of the South China Sea, including Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Just in case nobody notices, let me re-iterate that this "annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue between China and US" is the main show.

The side show is the one called Shangri-la dialogue in Singapore. lol.

We have to ensure Trump to be the president!
He will bring the best interests to China.
He is a businessman, so are we.

And yesterday I was listening to him, he incredibly was to the point on many global issues, including the US-led mess created in Iraq and recently in Libya.

Obama also sounded anti-war, but he had never been as articulate as Mr. Trump has been. Obama duped many young anti-war activists, but Mr. Trump talk to the White US heartland. And it finds an echo.

He is indeed a disaster to Amerios's white little sister regimes and non-white puppet regimes.

SOUTH CHINA SEA TERRITORIAL DISPUTES


Beijing and Washington will use the Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) to suss out each other's bottom line, to avoid accidental conflict in the region, with tensions set to rise after an impending ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration on a case against China's territorial claims.

BILATERAL INVESTMENT TREATY


The proposed pact aimed at expanding market access for both sides has undergone 24 rounds of negotiations and is targeted for conclusion before US President Barack Obama leaves office next January.

G-20 LEADERS' SUMMIT


The S&ED will discuss ways to improve Sino-US policy coordination at the Group of Twenty (G-20) summit taking place in the Chinese city of Hangzhou from Sept 4-5, to help boost flagging global growth.

CHINA'S ECONOMIC REFORMS

The US wants to press China into speeding up its economic reforms, such as cutting excess production capacity, with massive Chinese steel exports having hurt global markets and caused job loss.

CLIMATE CHANGE

China and the US, the world's two largest emitters of carbon dioxide, will discuss issues impacting the environment and ways to boost innovation in energy usage.

TAIWAN

Beijing will seek to dissuade the US from supporting any Taiwanese independence efforts that might intensify, with the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party in power since May.

NORTH KOREA

Washington will discuss with Beijing - regarded as Pyongyang's patron - ways to pressure the North into giving up its nuclear arms.

Trump spoke the truth and went against the establishment. The lackey probably hate him but for sure, he puts the America interest on top.

How to define Amerino interests? The people? The war-mongering establishment? Interests of white, black, Hispanic or others?

I guess he cares the whites the most. Look at the ongoing Trump University turmoil.

Trump openly says the judge overlooking the case is biased because he is a Hispanic.

This is the stage the US justice system has eventually reached. If you are a White person in the US, would you trust a Black judge if the case involves the interests of the Black people?

Trump did open up the Pandora's Box. It is perfectly a legitimate target for manipulation for interested overseas powers.

Trump will not get many American Latino's votes.

I think he does not need to. He just needs to solidify the White middle class as well as those who began to hate their own kind (illegals) after they moved to the US legally.

@Tiqiu

At this G2 Strategic & Economic Dialogue, the real horse-trading will take place. I think they discuss more than the above.

All these small countries are just pawns in the big scheme of things. The smart ones will keep an equi-distance from both and try to extract maximum benefits from the G2. The not so smart ones will just be used as pawns.

As Singapore's veteran diplomat, Mr Bilahari Kausikan notes, small countries would "pay the price" when big countries reach an agreement. Think Taiwan in the 1970s, when it was at the losing end of Sino-American rapprochement.
