Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Washington to remove disruptions and overcome obstacles to high-level exchanges between China and the United States, saying that both countries should earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state.
中国外交部长王毅敦促美方排除干扰、克服障碍，推动中美高层交往，并表示中美双方应切实落实两国元首达成的重要共识。
Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting in Beijing with David Perdue, the US ambassador to China, according to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry on Thursday.
据中国外交部8月27日发布的消息，中共中央政治局委员、外交部长王毅8月26日在北京会见美国驻华大使戴维·珀杜时作出上述表态。
Under the guidance of the two heads of state, China and the US are working to build a constructive relationship of strategic stability, Wang said.
王毅表示，在两国元首的引领下，中美双方正共同努力构建具有战略稳定性的建设性关系。
He said facts show that improving bilateral relations, coexisting peacefully on the basis of mutual respect and achieving win-win cooperation serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples and meet the common expectations of the international community.
他表示，事实证明，改善两国关系，在相互尊重基础上和平共处、实现互利共赢，符合两国人民的根本利益，也顺应国际社会的共同期待。
Noting that the China-US relationship still faces various risks and challenges, Wang emphasized the need for both sides to focus on a constructive agenda and properly manage differences to promote stable, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral ties.
王毅指出，当前中美关系仍面临各种风险挑战，双方应聚焦建设性议程，妥善管控分歧，推动两国关系稳定、健康、可持续发展。
Perdue said the two heads of state have provided important strategic guidance for advancing bilateral ties, noting that US President Donald Trump's visit to China in May was a success.
珀杜表示，两国元首为推进双边关系发展提供了重要战略指引，并指出美国总统唐纳德·特朗普今年5月的访华之行取得成功。
The US is willing to strengthen communication with China, advance cooperation, make preparations for the next stage of important high-level interactions, and build a constructive relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect and reciprocity, the ambassador added.
这位大使补充说，美方愿同中方加强沟通，推进合作，为下一阶段重要高层互动做好准备，并在相互尊重、对等相待的基础上构建具有战略稳定性的建设性关系。
On behalf of the US, Perdue expressed condolences over the casualties caused by a deadly mudslide that struck the Gyirong land port along the China-Nepal border in Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region.
珀杜代表美方，就中国西南部西藏自治区中尼边境吉隆口岸发生的泥石流灾害造成的人员伤亡表示慰问。
Later, Perdue said in a post on social media that he had productive meetings with Chinese Foreign Ministry officials.
随后，珀杜在社交媒体上发文表示，他与中国外交部官员进行了富有成效的会谈。
During his trip to China in May, Trump invited President Xi Jinping to visit the US in the autumn.
特朗普今年5月访华期间，曾邀请中国国家主席习近平于今年秋季访问美国。
At a regular news conference on Thursday in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that China and the US are maintaining communication on the arrangement of interactions between the two heads of state within the year.
在周四于北京举行的例行记者会上，中国外交部发言人林剑表示，中美双方正就年内两国元首互动的安排保持沟通。
Wang's meeting with Perdue came as the US is reportedly planning to impose a 7.5 percent tariff on Chinese goods on the pretext of excess manufacturing capacity.
王毅与珀杜会面之际，据报道美方正计划以所谓"产能过剩"为由，对中国输美商品加征7.5%的关税。
Huang Ling, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce, said on Thursday that the US, citing "overcapacity", has initiated an investigation against 16 economies, including China, under Section 301 of its Trade Act of 1974, which politicizes economic and trade issues.
商务部新闻发言人黄玲周四表示，美方以所谓"产能过剩"为由，依据其1974年《贸易法》第301条款，对包括中国在内的16个经济体发起调查，这一做法使经贸问题政治化。
The US-China Business Council released its annual member survey report in June, indicating that 95 percent of respondents considered China to be "somewhat" to "very important" for maintaining global competitiveness.
美中贸易全国委员会今年6月发布年度会员调查报告显示，95%的受访企业认为，中国市场对于维持其全球竞争力"较为重要"乃至"非常重要"。
The survey also found that US tariffs continue to increase costs for its own citizens, while the country's export controls unnecessarily undermine US businesses.
调查还发现，美国关税持续推高本国民众的生活成本，而美方出口管制措施则在不必要地损害美国企业的利益。
Around half of the affected US companies are losing sales to Chinese or international competitors, leading to lost market share in many cases, the report said, adding that the curbs failed to achieve their purported goal of denying China access to key technologies.
报告显示，约半数受影响的美国企业正因中国或其他国际竞争对手而流失销售份额，导致其在许多情况下市场份额下滑；报告还指出，这些限制措施并未达到所谓阻止中国获取关键技术的预期目标。
Craig Allen, former president of the US-China Business Council and a nonresident senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, said Chinese investors in the US play a very important role in local economic stability.
美中贸易全国委员会前会长、亚洲协会政策研究院中国分析中心非常驻高级研究员克雷格·艾伦表示，在美中国投资者对当地经济稳定发挥着十分重要的作用。
"In my view, the largest growth areas are probably in the services industries, also probably any industry touched by AI (artificial intelligence). But I think that there's room for growth across the board," Allen said in a recent interview with Chinese media.
艾伦在近期接受中国媒体采访时表示："在我看来，增长潜力最大的领域可能是服务业，此外，任何受到人工智能影响的行业也可能存在很大增长空间。不过我认为，各个领域都还有增长的余地。"
"We want to see more enthusiastic trade and investment going both ways across the Pacific Ocean."
"我们希望看到更加活跃的贸易与投资在太平洋两岸双向流动。"
