Developing a New Model of Major-Country Relations Between China and the United States

Meeting with President Barack Obama of the United States at the Annenberg Retreat in California in June 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed a new model of major-country relations. This new model, in his words, encapsulates three principles: 

– no conflict or confrontation, which is a prerequisite; 

– mutual respect, which provides the basis for healthy major-country relations; and 

– mutually beneficial cooperation, which provides the means to turn this vision into a reality.

構建中美新型大國關系

2013年6月，中國國家主席習近平與美國總統奧巴馬在安納伯格莊園會晤，提出共同努力構建中美新型大國關系。關于中美新型大國關系的內涵，習近平在會晤中用三句話作了概括：一是不沖突、不對抗。二是相互尊重。三是合作共贏。不沖突對抗，是構建中美新型大國關系的必要前提。相互尊重，是構建中美新型大國關系的基本原則。合作共贏，是中美構建新型大國關系的必由之路。
