The relationship between China and the United States is one of the most consequential bilateral dynamics in the world, making it imperative for both sides to maintain open lines of communication.

中美关系是全球最重要的双边关系之一，因此双方保持开放的沟通渠道至关重要。

Multidimensional, in-depth, and high-level engagements can help both countries manage their differences and expand mutually beneficial cooperation, benefiting not only themselves but also the wider world.

多维度、深层次、高水平的交往有助于两国管控分歧、扩大互利合作，这不仅造福中美两国，也惠及更广泛的世界。

It is therefore a welcome development that despite the tensions that have flared up between them, there has been a renewed momentum of high-level dialogue between the two countries in areas such as trade, diplomacy and defense recently. This communication is crucial for deepening understanding, managing differences, expanding cooperation, and enhancing mutual interests.

因此，尽管中美之间不时出现紧张局势，但近期两国在贸易、外交、国防等领域重燃高层对话势头，这一进展值得欢迎。此类沟通对于深化理解、管控分歧、扩大合作、增进共同利益具有关键意义。

It also helps create a positive atmosphere for their trade negotiations.

这也为两国贸易谈判营造了积极氛围。

That a group of US lawmakers are visiting China — a rare occurrence for members of the US Congress — has therefore attracted significant attention.

一群美国议员访华（这对美国国会议员而言较为罕见），因此引发了广泛关注。

Led by Representative Adam Smith, a Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, this visit, which began Sunday, marks the first by members of the US House of Representatives to China since 2019.

此次访问于周日启动，由美国众议院军事委员会民主党议员亚当·史密斯带队，是2019年以来美国众议院议员首次访华。

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the visit as an "ice-breaking journey" after his meeting with the US delegation on Tuesday, noting that the delegation represents the voices of both US political parties and reflects the American people's expectations for China-US relations.
