On Wednesday's press conference, Wang said China and the United States have a growing set of common interests.

"So we should pool our efforts to enlarge our shared interests, rather than building one's success at the expense of the other, because it is just not possible," said the foreign minister.

Observers noted that to achieve win-win results, China and the United States should focus on cooperation, which requires the two sides to care about each other's core interest.

The future of China-U.S. ties is much relying on their mutual efforts made at both strategic and tactical levels, Liang Yabin, senior researcher of Pangoal Institution, told Xinhua.

As the world is now in a nuclear era and no one can get an absolute advantage, China and the United States should realize that maintaining a strategic balance is the only reasonable choice for them, he said, adding that therefore the two countries need to work together to enhance their cooperation and continue to boost globalization.

Meanwhile, the two countries have unprecedented opportunities to work together in dealing with non-conventional global security challenges, such as terrorism, climate change and cross-border crimes.

Tactically, China and the United States should build up institutionalized channels to consult their disagreements and remove any doubt the two sides have about each other, said Liang.

Dialogue is the best way to enhance mutual trust, which will also help facilitate smooth communication and clear up any misunderstanding, he noted.

"GROW TOGETHER, WORK TOGETHER"

The United States is currently the largest developed country, whereas China stands as the largest developing one, with the two being the top two economies of the world.

The two countries are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and key players which are influential in transforming the system and order on a global scale.

The new U.S. government has also realized that the evolvement of its relations with China will have a direct impact on the global situation, especially that in the Asia-Pacific region.

During the State Department's first press briefing Tuesday since Trump took office in January, acting spokesman Mark Toner said relations with China is vital for the United States and the U.S. government is intent in pursuing a more constructive relationship with China.

"We're going to look for areas that we can expand our cooperation," he said. "I think we want to build on our relationship with China."

In the eyes of Ruan Zongze, vice president of the China Institute of International Studies, the Beijing-Washington relationship is not a small boat, but a huge ship that will not become wrecked easily.

Since 1979, the two countries' relations have sustained an overall upward development, notwithstanding some setbacks.

In the process of reform, opening-up and integration into the rest of the world, China has lifted hundreds of millions of its citizens out of poverty, and embarked on the modernization drive. Meanwhile, the American people have also benefited from the healthy development of the bilateral ties.

Both China and the United States have made great contributions to world peace and stability, making peace and development more outstanding themes of the times and win-win cooperation a historical tendency.

Jim Rogers, a renowned American investor and financial commentator, said that if China and the United States "go their separate ways," it will be no good for the two countries and the whole world.

"China and the U.S. are the two largest economies in the world. It would be wonderful if they continue to trade together in many ways," he said. "They should both grow together, work together."
