Highlights of Cui Tiankai's speech at Vision China

Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai shared his perspectives on how China and the United States should work to create a better future and a new vision for the world during a Vision China event in New York on Tuesday.

In his keynote speech, Cui said, "We have learned from the past four decades that cooperation is the only right option for us. It is something we should always uphold."

The envoy said that some Americans blame a rising China, which they claim will displace the US to be the world's new hegemon.

"But I do not see the onus on the side of China. It is how America perceives China that should be held to account."

The forum, "China-US Relations: 40 Years & Beyond", hosted by China Daily and Bank of China, featured commentary by experts involved in Sino-American relations.
