皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app replaced Japan as the world's second-largest economy in 2010. A year later, it overtook the US to become the world's largest manufacturer. On the other hand, diplomatic tensions have been rising as Washington pushes ahead with its "pivot to Asia" strategy to contain 皇冠体育app's rise, dragging both sides into deeper trouble with regard to the East and South 皇冠体育app sea issues. Also, their disagreements on cybersecurity, human rights and the end of the super-national treatment 皇冠体育app extended to foreign investors have further complicated the 皇冠体育app-US relationship, in which cooperation and competition co-exist, with the latter apparently on the rise.

Another worrying factor for 皇冠体育app is the pessimism shown by 皇冠体育app watchers, some of whom say the 皇冠体育app-US "honeymoon" is coming to an end. Such remarks highlight the need for both governments to take measures to control and manage their differences, old and new, and this is exactly what Xi aims to do during his US visit. He will meet American citizens from all walks of life, as well as business elites and members of think tanks, and his meeting with Obama could see the two leaders having a candid conversation on major issues facing the two countries.

On behalf of the Chinese government, Xi is expected to float and expound a set of new ideas on optimizing the global order while participating in the General Debate of the UN General Assembly in New York. In all likelihood, his visit will end with new agreements and concrete deals on bilateral cooperation, convince Washington of Beijing's adherence to peaceful development, and create an objective image of 皇冠体育app in US citizens' eyes.
