"The second is a framework for implementation of whatever is agreed upon that both countries in earnest believe that the implementation framework is something that sustainable. It's not just … quickly developing a trade deal, but some sustainable framework we can work overtime," said Alan Beebe, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in China.
They also say that despite ups and downs, four decades of China-U.S. relations have witnessed tremendous achievements.
They hope these recent disagreements and disputes can be resolved properly based on rational attitudes and the right understanding.
