The state visit by the President of the United States to China was widely seen as an urgently needed stabilizer in Sino-US ties that was facing unpredictability.
This diplomatic confidence was bolstered by President Xi Jinping's declaration that he and US President Donald Trump had reached a consensus to construct a relationship of "constructive strategic stability" between China and the US.
This formulation is intended to serve as a new foundational paradigm for bilateral ties in a rapidly shifting global order.
From the Chinese perspective, it is hoped the year 2026 is elevated to a historic, landmark year fundamentally redefining the trajectory of Sino-US engagement.
