We are clear-eyed about the challenges posed by the PRC. Doing so serves the best interests of the United States, of China, indeed, of the world. Both the United States and China have an obligation to manage this relationship responsibly. That’s the backdrop for the relationship between the United States and the People’s Republic of China – one of the most consequential in the world. We’ve deepened our engagement and alignment with allies and partners around the world in ways that would have been unimaginable a few years ago. We’ve made historic investments in our infrastructure, technology, industrial capacity, competitiveness. Over the past two-and-a-half years, the United States has taken a series of purposeful, strategic steps – both at home and abroad – to strengthen our country and our standing around the world. This team serves at one of the most important posts in the world at a critical moment, and I could not be prouder of how they represent our country. I want to begin by expressing my gratitude to Ambassador Burns, to our entire Mission China, with whom I’ve had an opportunity to spend time over the past couple of days.
