China and the United States are the largest developing countries and the largest developed countries, respectively. Whether China and the United States can handle their relations well is crucial to the future and destiny of the world, and it is the question of the century that both countries must answer well. Sino US cooperation will benefit both countries and the world; The confrontation between China and the United States will suffer for both countries and the world. The relationship between China and the United States is not a multiple-choice question about whether to do well, but a must answer question about how to do well.

Leaders emphasize that the ancient Chinese poem says, "There is no road to doubt when mountains and rivers are heavy, and there is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers." Since the "ice breaking" of bilateral relations in 1971, China and the United States have worked together to bring tangible benefits to various countries. At present, the international community is facing many common challenges. China and the United States should demonstrate a grand pattern, shoulder great responsibilities, persist in looking forward and moving forward, demonstrate strategic courage and political courage, and promote China US relations to return to the correct track of stable development as soon as possible, in order to better benefit the people of both countries and people of all countries around the world.

The leaders elaborated on China's position on climate change and other issues, emphasizing that China adheres to ecological priority and follows a green and low-carbon development path, and has always actively assumed international responsibilities consistent with its own national conditions. On the basis of respecting each other's core concerns and properly managing differences, the relevant departments of the two countries can continue to engage in dialogue, promote coordination and cooperation on climate change, epidemic prevention and control, economic recovery, and major international and regional issues, while tapping into more potential for cooperation and adding more positive factors to the relationship between the two countries.

Biden stated that the world is undergoing rapid changes, and the US China relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. How the US China interacts and gets along will greatly affect the future of the world. There is no reason for the two countries to fall into conflict due to competition. The US has no intention of changing the One China policy. The United States is willing to engage in more candid exchanges and constructive dialogue with China, identify key areas and priority areas for cooperation between the two sides, avoid misunderstandings, misjudgments, and unexpected conflicts, and push the US China relationship back on track. The US looks forward to strengthening communication and cooperation with China on important issues such as climate change, and forming more consensus.

Both sides unanimously believe that in-depth communication between China and the US dollar on Sino US relations and major international issues is crucial for guiding the correct development of Sino US relations. They agree to continue to maintain regular contacts through various means and will instruct the working teams of both sides to intensify their work and engage in extensive dialogue, creating conditions for the forward development of Sino US relations.
