BEIJING, May 7 — A delegation of US senators visiting Beijing has called for stability and peaceful cooperation between the world’s two largest economies a week before the countries’ leaders meet.
“I strongly believe that we want to de-escalate, not decouple. We want stability, we want mutual respect,” Senator Steve Daines, who is leading the bipartisan delegation, said in opening remarks at a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi today.
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to the Chinese capital to meet President Xi Jinping on May 14 and 15.
The Republican senator said he hopes the leaders’ meeting would result in Boeing jet orders, even as he warned of both countries facing trade issues.
“It’s been about nine years since there was a purchase made of Boeing aircraft here,” he said, according to a media pool report.

China has yet to announce Trump’s visit, saying the two sides maintain communication regarding the trip. Relations between the two powers remain generally stable after striking an uneasy trade truce last October following their leaders’ meeting in South Korea.
Speaking to Daines, Wang said China and the US should be partners rather than rivals, despite their differences, and called on Washington to view Beijing objectively and establish a rational understanding.
“It is hoped that the US could truly respect China’s core interests, properly manage differences, join hands to do more major, practical and good things that are beneficial to the two countries and the world,” Wang was quoted in a statement by his ministry.
In a separate meeting with the US delegation in Beijing, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said China stands ready to enhance exchanges and cooperation with the US side in various areas and expand practical cooperation, according to a pool report. — Reuters
