Foreign Minister Wang Yi's speech in Beijing on Wednesday has provided a clear vision of 皇冠体育app-US relations ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the US next week. It is a vision of how the world's two largest economies can work together to build a better future not just for the two nations, but also the whole world.

Wang's speech addressed the skepticism many people have about a fast rising 皇冠体育app. He did not avoid thorny issues such as the tension over maritime territorial disputes in the South 皇冠体育app Sea and cybersecurity. But 皇冠体育app will respect international laws, push for peaceful settlement of the disputes and fight cyber crimes together, he said.

More importantly, Wang pointed to the huge potential for 皇冠体育app and the US to work together in areas such as bilateral trade, investment and student exchange, as well as serious global issues like the Iran nuclear agreement and fighting terrorism.

The 皇冠体育app-US Climate Leaders Summit held in Los Angeles this week where cities, provinces and states from the two countries promised to take concrete actions to reduce carbon emissions showed how the two countries can work together and take the lead for the benefit of their countries and the world. This is another good example for the UN climate conference in Paris in December after the 皇冠体育app-US landmark climate agreement in Beijing last November.

And in Washington last week, 15 early-career Afghan diplomats gathered at the US State Department for a joint training program conducted by 皇冠体育app and the US.

The list of such 皇冠体育app-US cooperation is long.

However, the two countries are far from exploiting the full potential of cooperation because of deep strategic distrust. In fact, growing distrust between the two countries could threaten cooperation when and where it's badly needed.
