SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17 -- China-U.S. cooperation is not a zero-sum game but a win-win development, and their cooperation is in the best interests of the two countries and therefore their best option, a top Chinese diplomat said here Thursday.

In a signed article published in the online edition of The Seattle Times, a major newspaper in the western U.S. state of Washington, Chinese Consul General Wang Donghua said the year 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

"Over the last four decades, China and the United States have made historic progress in advancing their relations and cooperation, delivering enormous benefits to our two countries and peoples, and contributing greatly to the world peace and prosperity," he said.

The trajectory of their bilateral relations over the past 40 years has shown that China and the United States are not strategic adversaries but important partners, and the two countries have more common interests than ever, which call for the need to strengthen their cooperation more than ever in a world of economic globalization and increasing uncertainties, Wang said.

He cited the Boeing Company, a top U.S. aircraft manufacturer, as one of the businesses that has benefited from the opportunities generated by China's economic growth.

China is now the largest export market for Boeing aircraft and U.S. soybeans, and the second-largest export market for U.S. automobiles, integrated circuit products and cotton, said the Chinese diplomat.
