WASHINGTON: The Chinese ambassador to the United States has praised the Busan Summit for recalibrating the direction of bilateral relations, and called on the American business community to seize the opportunity to boost bilateral ties.
Ambassador Xie Feng made the remarks at the U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC) 2025 China Operations Conference & Dinner via video link on Monday.
Noting the exchanges between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump this year, Xie said the strategic guidance of the heads of state provides a key anchor of stability in China-U.S. relations, and the two countries should faithfully implement the important consensus reached between the two leaders, and ensure the giant ship of China-U.S. relations will sail forward steadily along the right route.
Both sides should develop the relationship based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, as well as non-conflict and non-confrontation, Xie said.

Xie stressed that the most important thing is to respect each other’s core interests and major concerns. Taiwan, democracy and human rights, path and system, and development rights are China’s four red lines, and China hopes the U.S. side will avoid crossing them and causing trouble, he said.
The pressing priority is to follow up on the consensus reached between the two presidents at their meeting in Busan and the joint arrangements reached during the economic and trade talks in Kuala Lumpur, so as to reassure both countries and the world economy with concrete actions and outcomes, Xie said.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, concluded last month, adopted recommendations for formulating the plan for national economic and social development in the next five years, which will bring even bigger opportunities for China-U.S. cooperation, he added.
Xie also promoted the eighth China International Import Expo, which is due to start on November 5 in Shanghai.
He called on American business leaders to be “early birds” who seize the opportunity to boost economic and trade ties.
