Tillerson travels to Beijing Sept 28 - Oct 1 in preparation of President Trump's China visit. The U.S.-China Social and Cultural Dialogue will be held in Washington, D.C. on September 28, 2017.

For more than four decades, China-US relations have been guided by the foundation enshrined in the Joint Communique. The ‘no conflict, no confrontation’ principle advocated by China remains the bottom line of bilateral relations, and the lynchpin is the one-China policy. With China’s growth and prosperity today, there is every reason to be confident in the future of China-US relations.

As Trump takes office, it is very important for economic and trade officials from both countries to sit down and talk through not only the difficulties and disputes, which they must, but also more importantly, how we can exploit a great future together.
