China's Ambassador to US Voices Hope for Managed Differences and Broadened Cooperation

Xie Feng, China’s ambassador to the US, echoed that message in a wide-ranging Newsweek interview published on the eve of the visit, voicing hope the Beijing meetings would help manage differences and broaden cooperation along a “steady, sound and sustainable” path. It was published under the byline Guo Jiping, a collective pen name used by the paper’s international department to convey Beijing’s official stance on major global issues. It reviewed two cycles of downturn and recovery since 2018, citing Trump’s two rounds of trade war during his first and second presidential terms, pointing to a shift towards “more equal” and pragmatic engagement with clearer boundaries.
