'constructive strategic stability'

A Zhong Sheng 钟声 ('voice of China') commentary, published in People's Daily, expanded on the framework of 'a constructive strategic stability', stating that it should

• be positive stability, where cooperation is the mainstay 
  • when the PRC and the US cooperate, both benefit; when they fight, both are harmed
  • the two countries should become partners rather than rivals
  • the interests of the PRC and the US are deeply intertwined
  • the breadth and depth of bilateral cooperation not only carry the well-being of more than 1.7 bn people in the two countries, but also concern the interests of more than 8 bn people worldwide
  • if the PRC and the US join hands in cooperation, they can accomplish many major things that benefit both countries and the world
• be healthy stability, where competition is kept within proper limits 
  • when major countries interact, competition is unavoidable
  • yet competition is absolutely not a zero-sum 'boxing match' in which one side loses and the other wins
  • it should be a 'track-and-field competition' of mutual encouragement and joint improvement
  • there should not be double standards, much less artificially imposed restrictions or attempts to obtain so-called competitive advantages by tying the hands and feet of others
  • the PRC side is glad to see a confident, open, prosperous and developing US, and
  • the PRC side hopes that the US side will look at the PRC's development rationally
  • the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and Make America Great Again can run in parallel without conflict, mutually achieve one another, and benefit the world
• be a constant stability, where differences are manageable 
  • the PRC and the US differ in history and culture, social systems and development paths, which is an objective reality
  • as long as both sides adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, they can completely transcend differences and find the correct way to get along
  • in the new round of PRC–US economic and trade consultations that recently concluded, the economic and trade teams of the two countries reached overall balanced and positive outcomes, which is good news for the peoples of both countries and for the world
  • this fully demonstrates that as long as both sides move toward each other in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, they can find ways to resolve each other's concerns
  • both sides should
    • safeguard the current hard-won positive momentum
    • further make good use of communication channels in various fields
    • properly manage differences
• be lasting stability, where peace is expectable
  • safeguarding peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the greatest common denominator between the PRC and the US
  • the US side must handle the Taiwan issue with the utmost caution
  • the US side should abide by the One China principle and the three PRC–US joint communiques
