“China will continue to work with the United States to build a strong and stable relationship,” Ambassador Cui said. “Reform and opening up in China and the normalization and development of China-US relations have benefited both countries and the entire world. This has been proven by the history of the last four decades. So the success story is not just China’s. Nor is it just America’s. It’s our shared success story.”
