China and the U.S. should constantly exploit the potential of cooperation, cultivate cooperation points, accelerate bilateral investment agreements and negotiations, deepen military dialogues, strike all forms of terrorism together, confront climate change together and enhance communication and coordination on important international and regional issues.
