China and US videos highlight decades of cooperation and economic ties

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has released two videos titled 'Peaceful Coexistence' in both Chinese and English. The short films highlight key moments of cooperation between China and the US. They also stress the deep economic ties between the two nations. The videos begin by recalling historical milestones, such as China-US collaboration during World War II. They also mention the era of 'ping-pong diplomacy' that helped ease tensions between the two countries.

Economic links feature prominently in the videos. They note that 80,000 US companies currently invest in China. They also point out that 80% of Apple’s core suppliers operate plants in the country. Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory is another example, responsible for half of the company’s global output.

The films go on to describe joint efforts in combating terrorism and addressing the financial crisis. They also highlight cooperation in tackling the Ebola outbreak. The message is clear: both nations have worked together on major global challenges.

The videos argue that the Earth is too small for China and the US to turn against each other. They state that both peoples share a desire for peace and happiness. The conclusion urges a commitment to mutual respect and sustained cooperation, ending with the statement that China is ready and open, and it is now for the US to choose the right path. The videos serve as a call for continued partnership between the two superpowers. They outline shared history, economic interdependence, and joint achievements. The message stresses the importance of cooperation over confrontation.
