“We indeed hope that the U.S. will work with China for [shared goals, and] properly handle the relevant differences through dialogue and negotiation in a constructive way so as to ensure the steady and healthy development of China-U.S. economic and trade relations,” Hua added, according to an official transcript.
Powerful Communist Party-owned newspaper People’s Daily on Thursday called Trump’s visit an “historic opportunity to boost cooperation between the world’s two largest economies, and a chance to tackle the problems that dampen bilateral ties.”
That comment came a few hours after People’s Daily on questioned if the U.S. is still “the world’s role model,” and suggested that Beijing is “a new role model for political and economic development.”

The rising Chinese dream
China has eagerly embraced acquisitions and corporate investments. Last year alone, it invested about $250 billion in the U.S. In a reversal of roles, China is building manufacturing plants in the U.S. and employing Americans. For example, GM had closed a manufacturing plant in Ohio in 2008; a Chinese company reopened it and now employs 2,000 people! In California, a Chinese company – BYD – has a factory to build 1,500 electric buses every year. There are now more than 140,000 Americans who are employed by China-affiliated companies.
In the last few years, China has bought many valuable brand names such as Volvo, Motorola, GE appliances, Lenovo, Hoover U.S., Waldorf Astoria, Radisson Hotels, Club Med, Syngenta, Smithfield Foods, AMC Theaters etc. In Europe, Chinese companies have bought soccer clubs (such as AC Milan), retail stores, luxury clothing brands, pharmacy chains, hotels, robotics companies and more.
China never challenged America’s military-industrial-media complex (unlike Putin). Playing defensive, it focused on creating partnerships – BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) being a good example. Harmony has been an important concept in Confucianism for 2500 years.
While the U.S. bombed Iraq, Libya and Syria, China is lending $45 billion of its own money and expertise to build a new capital for Egypt – Libya’s neighbor. In fact, since 2000, China has given almost as much foreign aid as the U.S.
Throughout Africa, China has adopted a win-win approach. While buying natural resources from Africa, China has also spent a lot of money building Africa’s infrastructure. A recent McKinsey report shows that there are over 10,000 Chinese companies in Africa, creating millions of good jobs for Africans. Compare that to the U.S., which builds military bases all over Africa.
Geopolitical experts in the 1990’s never expected China to become a global power. Now, China is recreating its ancient Silk Road. Only this time, it’s called Belt and Road Initiative and it involves China spending $1 trillion in 67 other countries to build all kinds of infrastructure – highways, railways, sea ports, airports, pipelines, hydroelectric dams and so on.
