The past few years have seen China-US relations at a low ebb since the establishment of diplomatic ties, and the crux boils down to how the United States perceives China, the world and itself. The sound and stable growth of the bilateral relationship depends on whether the two countries could put their differences in perspective and get on to pursue their respective and common interests. Mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are an important conclusion informed by the evolution of China-US relations over the past 50-odd years. They are also the right way for major countries to live with each other in this era.
