Finding more ‘everyday diplomats’ between China and the US: Global Times editorial

Amid twists and turns, warm currents in people-to-people exchanges between China and the US have continued to flow. People-to-people connectivity remains a profound force behind relations between the two major countries. Currently, American public sentiment toward China is steadily improving. The latest survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, a US think tank, found that 57 percent of Americans believe the US should undertake friendly cooperation and engagement with China, continuing a shift toward engagement that has been underway since 2024. The emotional ties at the grassroots level continue to strengthen, forming a solid foundation for building a "constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability."
A cup of bubble tea and a piece of fried chicken reflect the broader trend in China-US relations. The crowds lining up in Shanghai and New York, along with the "friendship trees" in the Mu Us Desert, all tell stories of the admiration between the people of both countries for each other"s cultures, their expectations for mutually beneficial cooperation, and their shared desire for the stable development of China-US relations.
We look forward to more "everyday diplomats" emerging between the two countries under the guidance of the consensus reached by the leaders of both nations, promoting the steady and long-term building of a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability that continuously injects certainty and positive energy into a world of change and turbulence.
