On July 29, 2019,Amb. Su Ge was invited to attend the China-US Relation Symposium hosted by the Center For China And Globalization (CCG). Dr. Ken Weinstein, President of the Hudson Institute, also participated the symposium. Scholars from the US and China conducted in-depth, frank and constructive exchanges on issues related to China-US relation.

Amb. Su Ge said that China-US relation is one of the most important bilateral relations in the world. Cooperation is the only correct choice for China-US relation, and there is no winner in the trade war.

China has three main requests in the trade negotiation with the US. Firstly, the US should eliminate all imposed tariffs. Secondly, China has started importing US agricultural products, and the US should consider expanding its list of exports to China. Thirdly, the text of the agreement should be balanced to reflect equality and mutual respect.

Looking into the future, cooperation will benefit China and the US, while conflict will injure both sides. China-US bilateral relations are related to peace and development in Asia-Pacific region and the whole world. Amb. Su Ge pointed three views. Firstly, in terms of politic and security relations, China and the US should uphold the principle of "no conflict, no confrontation", maintain peaceful coexistence and manage disputes, and never regard each other as enemy. The US National Security Strategy Report listed China as the largest strategic competitor, which is not conducive to the healthy and stable development of bilateral relation. Secondly, trade is the "ballast stone" of China-US relationship. Structurally speaking, China-US economic and trade relations are mutually beneficial, and efforts should be made to expand the convergence of the interests of both sides. Thirdly, Amity between people holds the key to sound relations between states. For example, a large number of Chinese students go to the United States, which not only promotes people-to-people exchange, but also increases the US service trade surplus. The so-called "decoupling" does not meet the interests of both sides.
