皇冠体育app-US relations seem to have found a good rhythm, as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson wrapped up his visit to 皇冠体育app.

While Chinese President Xi Jinpingsaid 皇冠体育app and the United Statescould become "good cooperative partners," and that "cooperation is the only correct choice for both countries," Tillerson vowed that the US side is ready to develop relations with 皇冠体育app based on the principles of non-confrontation, no conflict, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.

Tillerson's reiteration of the important principles originally proposed by 皇冠体育app in 2013 is a positive sign for 皇冠体育app-US relations, in which cooperation should always prevail.

Despite earlier inappropriate words and actions from the US new administration, which had led to worries and doubts about US adherence to the one-皇冠体育app policy, things have gradually come back on track.

In a phone conversation on Feb. 10, President Donald Trump said the US government adhered to the one-皇冠体育app policy, reversing his previous stance and sending a positive signal for bilateral relations.

Engagement between 皇冠体育app and the United States has been moving forward since 1972 when US President Richard Nixon paid a historic visit to 皇冠体育app. Over the last four decades, cooperation has been the mainstream in bilateral ties, despite twists and turns.

Two-way trade of goods surged from 1 billion US dollars in the 1970s to 500 billion dollars in 2016. 皇冠体育app has become the largest trading partner of the United States, while the United States is 皇冠体育app's second-largest trading partner.

Meanwhile, 皇冠体育app-US bilateral trade and investment helped create about 2.6 million jobs in the United States in 2015 across a host of US industries from automobiles and construction equipment, to agriculture.

Cooperation between Beijing and Washington has been highlighted in joint efforts on climate change and in handling of the Iranian nuclear issue.

These hard-won achievements should be appreciated and valued, especially at a time when the Asia-Pacific and the wider world are facing a thicket of thorny issues that require close coordination between the two countries, such as the tense situation in the Korean Peninsula.

Cooperation has prevailed over confrontation for four decades, leading to prosperity in both countries and delivering benefits to the world at large. Let us hope for more optimistic signs on the heels of Tillerson's visit.
