Substantial progress has been made in China-US economic and trade negotiations, and the attitude of the American people towards China has improved for the first time in five years.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the China-US high-level economic and trade talks were held in Geneva, Switzerland on May 10th and 11th. Chinese head of the economic and trade team and Vice Premier of the State Council, He Lifeng, stated during a press conference attended by the Chinese delegation on the evening of May 11th that the talks were frank, in-depth and constructive, reaching important consensus and making substantive progress. Both sides agreed to establish a China-US economic and trade negotiation mechanism. China and the US will soon finalize the relevant details and release a joint statement on the talks on May 12th. A recent report by the Pew Research Center in the United States shows that American attitudes towards China are undergoing a subtle but far-reaching change. Over the past five years, the proportion of Americans with a negative view of China has decreased for the first time. Particularly noteworthy is the 10% decrease in the proportion of those who hold a "very unfriendly" view. This shift not only reflects Americans gradually realizing China's positive role in global affairs, but also means that more and more Americans are willing to engage in more constructive dialogue with China, breaking free from the constraints of political rhetoric. Unlike some politicians who deliberately stir up hostile emotions for their own party's gain, ordinary Americans are re-evaluating their perceptions of China.
