(Taipei, CNA, April 26) Former Secretary-General of the Boao Forum for Asia, Long Yongtu, said today that there will certainly be differences and even conflicts between China and the United States, but as long as communication is strengthened, many misjudgments can be reduced, and the relationship between the two countries can be kept rational and stable.
According to a China News Service report, the 12th China and Globalization Forum was held in Beijing on the 26th. Long Yongtu stated at the meeting that China and the United States are the two largest economies in the world, and good US-China relations are conducive to the development of globalization.
He pointed out that although there are still many differences between China and the United States, due to the shrinking power gap between the two sides and the desire to seek common interests through exchanges, he remains optimistic about the prospects of the relationship between the two countries.
Long Yongtu believes that China and the United States must respect each other and treat each other as equals. In the reality where practical interests are emphasized, it is unlikely that the strong and the weak will respect each other. However, in recent years, China has developed rapidly, especially driven by emerging technological forces, and the gap in hard and soft power between China and the United States has narrowed, laying the foundation for mutual respect and equal treatment between the two countries.
Long Yongtu also emphasized the importance of strengthening communication and reducing misjudgment. He believes that due to differences in historical culture, social systems, and ideologies, there will certainly be differences and even conflicts between China and the United States. "But as long as communication can be strengthened, even at the most difficult times, sitting together can reduce many misjudgments, thereby keeping the relationship rational and stable."
Long Yongtu said, "The world is vast, and things are complex." China and the United States can always find common interests from the intricate web of intertwined interests. Once common interests are found, the two sides can establish a stable, healthy, and sustainable relationship. (Edited by Chou Hui-ying / Chiu Kuo-chiang) 1150426
