According to the three joint declarations reached by the US side with China, Xie Feng called for the rational approach to important sensitive issues such as the Taiwan issue, and the US endeavors to strengthen the dialogue with China, to control the conflicts, to advance cooperation and to put the bilateral relations on the right trajectory. He said he hoped he would spend it.
