Meeting with US business leaders on Tuesday, Premier Wen Jiabao said that the two countries should seek to expand their common interests and join hands to cope with the current global economic woes.

Wen's remarks are in a stark contrast to the hawkish China-bashing that has been a constant theme of the US election campaigns.

Admittedly, China and the US have many differences on political, economic and security fronts. But their efforts to stabilize the global economy should not be derailed by presidency targeted political interests.
