国内英语资讯:Spotlight: Intl forum on U.S.-China relations calls for continued collaboration for win-wi

"If we can get rid of some of the nagging, continuing problems, we will be able to solve it," said Feulner, who was fundamentally optimistic about the two countries working together.

To get rid of the possible obstacles to future cooperation, Lampton suggested that leaders of the two countries should "think strategically and long term."

"This is a time to move away from the confrontation," said Stephen Roach, a senior fellow at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.

Jimmy Flannigan, city council member of Austin, in the state of Texas, called for collaboration rather than a "battle for winners" in the negotiations.

"If we perceive these negotiations in this relationship as a battle for winners and losers, there will only be losers. That's the difference between competition and collaboration ... We want to see these trade deals come in a way that is mutually beneficial."

Some speakers at the forum also refuted the rhetoric that China is taking advantage of the United States.

The U.S. trade deficit is tied more to the country's own macroeconomic imbalances, said Roach. "We cannot address multilateral imbalances with over 100 countries by fixing the bilateral deficit with one country, China."

"Our bilateral relationship has had bumps in the road but has produced a classic win-win scenario," said Neil Bush, son of former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, on behalf of the Bush China Foundation.
