The 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum is held at the Beijing International Convention Center from September 17 to 19. The theme for this year's forum is "Safeguarding the International Order and Promoting Peaceful Development Together."
US participants at the forum noted that the Forum provides more opportunities for communication and discussion, thereby enhancing understanding, overcoming incorrect assumptions, and addressing long-standing issues through innovative solutions.
Regarding China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its assistance to Third World countries, a US guest noted that what China is doing is not an attempt to formulate a strategic plan to expand its global influence but rather to contribute to international development and exercise leadership.
On the prospects of China-US competitive relations, US participants at the forum emphasized that competition will persist in the long term. Still, the two sides can coexist peacefully and collaborate on global health, addressing environmental changes, and aiding developing countries.
