formulating proactive regional cooperation strategies. China should steadfastly uphold
the principles of common development and mutually beneficial open regionalism,
oppose exclusive closed groups, uphold the spirit of the APEC family, advocate for the
establishment of an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future, actively integrate into
regional cooperation mechanisms advocated by the United States, ASEAN, and others,
and promote Asia-Pacific regional economic integration.
2. Recognizing the significance of the APEC platform, it is essential to expand
the scope of cooperation between China and the United States within APEC. This can
