Economic and trade cooperation has been regarded as the great stabilizer of China-U.S. relations for many years. As the two countries’ internal and external environments grow ever more complex, however, it’s not clear that this will continue to be the case.

A new framework is needed to accommodate their various interests as they deal with the ever-changing international situation and the challenges that crop up now and then. Relations have weathered storms over past decades mainly because the two sides share broad common interests.
