CHINA PRESS: Deepening cooperation between the U.S. and China and abandoning

outmoded geopolitical thinking are critical to the bilateral relationship, the

official People's Daily said in a commentary Thursday, the day after U.S.

President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing. China will continue to support world

peace,  contribute to global development, and defend the international order,

the commentary said. China embraces globalization and will work towards more

open, balanced, and "win-win" development of the global economy, the government

mouthpiece stressed. China and the U.S. are not each other's enemy and their

diplomatic importance to each other is increasing. Any attempt to prevent or

restrain the further development of China, or create an Asia-Pacific or

international strategy to counter China, would not succeed and would only

increase mutual doubt about each other's strategies. As Trump's visit comes

shortly after the close of the 19th Communist Party Congress, it provides an

opportunity for China and the U.S. to deepen mutual understanding and strategic

communications to create a "more magnificent blueprint" for the two countries'

relationship, the commentary said. (People's Daily )
