China, US Urged to Cooperate for Global Peace and Development

BEIJING, Jan 16 (Alliance News): The international community is urging China and the United States to work together to tackle global challenges, highlighting that peaceful coexistence between the two superpowers is crucial for worldwide peace and development.

A Russian newspaper recently underscored that harmony between China and the US would benefit humanity, a sentiment echoed by Pakistan’s Daily Times, which stressed that collaboration between the nations could address common global issues and improve global welfare.

Observers point to history as a guide. Eighty years ago, China and the US joined forces with other nations to overcome fascism during World War II. Today, amid crises like the Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the need for cooperation between the two nations has become even more critical for global peace and security.

Development and governance remain vital areas for collaboration. Following the international financial crisis over a decade ago, China and the US played key roles, alongside G20 countries, in stabilizing the global economy. With current economic recovery slowing and growth disparities increasing, the two nations—accounting for over one-third of the global economy—bear significant responsibility for driving progress.

In governance, milestones achieved over the past four decades of diplomatic ties illustrate the potential of bilateral cooperation, from combating terrorism and controlling health crises to signing pivotal agreements like the Paris Agreement.

The world expects China and the US to reduce mutual tensions and renew trust, enabling them to lead by example and bring stability to a chaotic international landscape. By fostering mutually beneficial cooperation, the two countries can continue serving as pillars of peace and development, echoing their historical collaboration from 80 years ago.
