November 15, 2023，President Xi Jinping held a heads-of-state meeting with US President Biden in San Francisco, USA。This is another face-to-face meeting after the Bali meeting between the heads of state of bet365 live casino games and the United States on November 14, 2022，This is President Xi Jinping’s second visit to the United States after six years。In recent years，The U.S. government continues to intensify its strategic competition with bet365 live casino games，bet365 live casino games-US relations are once again at a crossroads。Therefore，The San Francisco meeting between the heads of state of bet365 live casino games and the United States attracted worldwide attention，Great significance。

　　Attach importance to the positioning of US relations with bet365 live casino games

At the San Francisco meeting between the heads of state of bet365 live casino games and the United States，President Xi Jinping pointed out，“Great power competition is not the background of this era，It cannot solve the problems facing bet365 live casino games, the United States and the world。This earth can accommodate bet365 live casino games and the United States，Our respective successes are each other’s opportunities”。This position is in line with the “great power competition” strategy that the United States has been promoting since the end of 2017，Especially in sharp contrast to bet365 live casino games’s “competition” strategy。bet365 live casino games has always opposed the United States’ use of “competition” to define Sino-US relations and its implementation of the “great power competition” strategy。This is because of "great power competition"，As the name suggests, it is "strategic competition" between major powers。This kind of competition is different from competition in the general sense，Has undeniable zero-sum characteristics。Therefore，In the context of “great power competition”，“Great power cooperation” can only be wishful thinking to a large extent。In the emergency situation of the spreading COVID-19 epidemic，The Trump administration chose to intensify “competition” with bet365 live casino games rather than cooperate with bet365 live casino games；In the context of the accelerated evolution of the Ukrainian crisis，The Biden administration still focuses on “strategic competition” with bet365 live casino games，It is a vivid manifestation。

bet365 live casino games opposes the United States’ use of “competition” to define Sino-U.S. relations and its pursuit of a “great power competition” strategy，This is based on history、A position formed by considering the three dimensions of reality and the future。From a historical perspective，Great power competition has a long history，Most of them are closely related to the war for hegemony，And it happens repeatedly。The two world wars and the Cold War that pushed mankind to the brink of nuclear war are all painful memories left to mankind by the competition between great powers。As far as Sino-US relations are concerned，Looking at the history of Sino-US relations，Whether it is the rise of the United States to become the world’s largest economy，Or will it rise to become the world’s most powerful country，None of them are based on treating bet365 live casino games as a “competitor”。History，“Competition” is not part of Sino-US relations。

Nearly 70 years，From the perspective of the positioning of U.S. relations with bet365 live casino games，The United States’ relatively positive positioning of relations with bet365 live casino games is conducive to the stable development of Sino-US relations，The opposite is true。After the founding of the People's Republic of bet365 live casino games，The Truman administration adopted a hostile policy toward bet365 live casino games，The United States regards bet365 live casino games as an enemy and isolates and contains it，Leading to nearly 20 years of confrontation between bet365 live casino games and the United States。Late 1960s，The Nixon administration is planning major changes in its bet365 live casino games policy。February 1970，In his first foreign policy report to Congress，Nixon said，“bet365 live casino games is a great country、A vibrant nation，We should not continue to be isolated from the international community”。Obviously，This new understanding of bet365 live casino games paved the way for Kissinger’s secret visit to bet365 live casino games and Nixon’s “ice-breaking trip”。Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between bet365 live casino games and the United States in the late 1970s，The U.S. government has generally established a relatively positive positioning of relations with bet365 live casino games: from a "friendly non-ally" relationship during the Reagan period to a "constructive strategic partnership" during the Clinton period；From "responsible stakeholders" during the Bush era to "active, cooperative and comprehensive Sino-US relations" during the Obama era。Under this premise，Although the relationship between bet365 live casino games and the United States has gone through ups and downs，But basically maintained a relatively stable development momentum。

Through a historical perspective，Aiming to draw lessons from history，Avoid making the same mistakes。Also to show，The positioning of U.S. relations with bet365 live casino games has an important impact on Sino-U.S. relations，To value Sino-U.S. relations, one cannot ignore the positioning of U.S. relations with bet365 live casino games。Also stated，The development achievements of Sino-US relations are hard-won，Should be cherished even more。

　Competitive bet365 live casino games falls into the traditional Western mindset

From a realistic perspective，Today’s world，Local conflicts and wars occur from time to time，Global challenges are becoming increasingly severe，There is a long way to go to achieve the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals，All of this urgently requires strengthening international cooperation to jointly deal with it。International Community，Especially in developing countries，Leading the Sino-US cooperation、Full of expectations for demonstration effect。Even America’s allies and partners，I don’t want to see the tension between bet365 live casino games and the United States intensify，Unwilling to choose sides between bet365 live casino games and the United States。It can be said，“Great power competition” not only destroys cooperation，And it can easily turn into confrontation or even conflict。As far as Sino-US relations are concerned，This round of tension between the two countries stems from the "great power competition" strategy unilaterally initiated and promoted by the United States，As a result, Sino-US relations have been trapped by "competition" for a long time。December 18, 2017，The Trump administration releases the National Security Strategy Report，Positioning bet365 live casino games as a "revisionist country" and a "strategic competitor"，Declare that “great power competition” is back。Afterwards，The Trump administration steps up the implementation of the “whole-of-government bet365 live casino games strategy”，As a result, the good development momentum of Sino-US relations has been seriously hindered，Relationships between the two countries have encountered serious difficulties。After the Biden administration took office in January 2021, it largely inherited the competition strategy against bet365 live casino games from the Trump administration，Continuously emphasize the so-called "fierce competition" with bet365 live casino games，As a result, Sino-US relations continue to be trapped by "competition"，It is difficult to achieve a constructive breakthrough。

The United States’ definition of Sino-US relations as “competition” is a setback in its strategic thinking，The root cause is falling into the traditional Western mindset，Believe in the existence of "a strong country will seek hegemony" and the "Thucydides Trap"，So full of anxiety about the so-called "bet365 live casino games replacing the United States' global leadership"。In line with the Cold War mentality，The United States misinterprets bet365 live casino games-bet365 live casino games relations as centered on ideological disputes、An all-round “strategic competition” relationship focusing on technological competition。

Actually，The US defines Sino-US relations as “competition” which is inconsistent with the facts of the relationship between the two countries，It is also not in the interests of both countries。bet365 live casino games-US relations are one of the most important and complex bilateral relations in the world，Therefore，Affixing any single “label” to this relationship is one-sided、Inappropriate。As the two largest economies in the world，In-depth economic integration between bet365 live casino games and the United States，Mutual benefit。Based on data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis， In 2019 “U.S. companies exported 4 billion in goods and services to bet365 live casino games，6% of U.S. exports.5%。Exports to bet365 live casino games provide nearly 1 million U.S. jobs，Chinese companies investing in the United States employ more than 120,000 workers”。Based on data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on February 7, 2023，bet365 live casino games-US trade volume in goods will exceed US0 billion in 2022，A new all-time high。The above data proves with facts: bet365 live casino games and the United States will benefit from peace，If we fight, we will all suffer。

Reality shows，The "great power competition" strategy is not in line with the times，It is also inconsistent with the fact that bet365 live casino games and the United States are economically interdependent；Neither in the interests of bet365 live casino games nor the United States，It is also not in line with the interests and expectations of the international community。

　　bet365 live casino games is the right choice for the future

From a future perspective，The challenges facing mankind will be extremely difficult。First, we need to control the rapidly developing technology，To prevent it from backfire on humans。A report released by Brown University shows，The development of artificial intelligence has made a major leap: from the laboratory into people's lives，But its potential negative effects cannot be ignored。Therefore，Future governments、Academia and industry need to play a greater role，To ensure that the development of artificial intelligence serves the greater good。The second is to cooperate to respond to increasing global risks，To maintain sustainable development。According to the "2023 Global Risks Report" released by the World Economic Forum on January 11, 2023，"Failure to mitigate climate change" and "failure to adapt to climate change" ranked as the most serious risks globally，The next highest risks are “natural disasters and extreme weather events” and “biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse”。To bridge the gaps and inequalities that exist in global governance，Achieving the bet365 live casino games Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals，Revitalizing the multilateral system，Strengthening international cooperation in addressing major challenges，The bet365 live casino games Nations is expected to hold a "Future Summit" in September 2024。The above report indicates，The international community urgently needs to build consensus、Work together，Together we face the imminent common challenges。However，If the international community is burdened with "great power competition" and moves into the future，Technology will only serve the "struggle for hegemony" more than human welfare，International cooperation to address global challenges will also be severely weakened。Therefore，Future-oriented，The international community, especially the big countries，In addition to strengthening cooperation，No choice。

In terms of Sino-US relations，What kind of Sino-US relations will bet365 live casino games and the United States hand over to the next generation，Depends on how the two countries define the relationship between them，How to replace “responsibly managed competition” with responsible cooperation。Historical experience tells people，"Great power competition" is a road of no return。On the road to “great power competition”，Cooperation among competitors will inevitably shrink，Competition、The confrontation will continue to expand，A little carelessness，It can easily turn into a conflict。

Through the perspective of the future is to look far ahead、Be prepared for a rainy day，Show it with unavoidable facts，Cooperation rather than competition is the right choice for bet365 live casino games and the United States to face the future。bet365 live casino games and the United States not only need to strengthen cooperation with each other，We must also lead the international community to carry out fruitful multilateral cooperation，Create a better tomorrow together。

During the heads-of-state meeting with President Biden in San Francisco, USA，President Xi Jinping pointed out，"Mutual respect、Peaceful coexistence、Win-win cooperation，This is the experience extracted from the 50 years of Sino-US relations，It is also the inspiration brought by the conflicts between great powers in history，It should be the direction for bet365 live casino games and the United States to work together”。I hope San Francisco is a new starting point for this effort - bet365 live casino games and the United States will explore the right way to get along，Breaking the historical cycle rate of “great power competition”，Create a future vision that is beneficial to bet365 live casino games, the United States and the world。
