in derek grossman's view, china-us relations have shown a mild improvement after the apec meeting in november last year. the responsibility of both sides is to avoid escalation of conflicts, properly utilize areas of cooperation between the two sides, manage differences and establish a mechanism of mutual trust.

he suggested that both the united states and china should work hard to rebuild mutual trust and gradually reduce the lack of mutual trust between the two sides on issues including the south china sea and taiwan.

"i think china and the united states can actually strengthen cooperation by enhancing dialogue." derek grossman said that judging from some key indicators, there are already many positive signs, such as cooperation in some areas.

"the dialogue mechanism was originally established to strengthen communication between the two sides. i think the beijing xiangshan forum is a very good dialogue mechanism," said derek grossman.
