Shared interests outweigh feuds and differences
US National Security Advisor Susan Rice is in town on Friday to discuss the preparation work for Chinese President Xi Jinping's trip to the United States next month. Both Beijing and Washington have attached great importance to Xi's upcoming visit, which is sure to lay an indelible mark on Sino-US relations.
Xi's visit is expected to give further guidance to the building of a new model of major-country relations between the two nations and bring greater benefits to the two peoples.
The top Chinese leader's visit also presents a good opportunity for the two countries to deepen their practical cooperation and build consensuses on thorny bilateral and multilateral issues, especially about how they are going to interact in the Asia-Pacific region.
