Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, will lead a delegation to the United States from Saturday to Wednesday for economic and trade talks with the US side, the Ministry of Commerce announced on Saturday.
商务部上周六发布消息，中共中央政治局委员、国务院副总理何立峰将率代表团于上周六至周三赴美国，与美方举行经贸会谈。

The two sides will hold consultations on economic and trade issues of mutual concern, guided by the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, the ministry said in an online statement.
商务部在网上声明中表示，双方将按照两国元首达成的重要共识，就共同关心的经贸问题开展磋商。

The talks have also raised expectations among US businesses and industry groups for further progress in bilateral commercial ties.
此次会谈也让美国企业和行业团体期待双边经贸关系能取得更多进展。

Jim Sutter, CEO of the US Soybean Export Council, said he is optimistic about the prospects for China-US economic and trade relations and that the US soybean industry looks forward to more positive developments.
美国大豆出口协会首席执行官苏健表示，他看好中美经贸关系前景，美国大豆行业期待出现更多积极进展。

Sutter said agricultural trade, particularly soybeans, has long served as a ballast in the China-US relationship, and that role has not changed despite previous challenges. US farmers have always valued China as an important trading partner and their largest overseas market.
苏健称，农产品贸易，尤其是大豆贸易，长期以来都是中美关系的压舱石，即便此前历经波折，这一作用并未改变。美国农户一直把中国视作重要贸易伙伴，也是他们最大的海外市场。

"USSEC values open and free trade. Predictable market access leads to smoother trade flows that benefit both sides," he said. "The US soy relationship with China is structural and foundational, not cyclical — the mutual benefit is clear, proven and enduring."
他说：“美国大豆出口协会推崇开放自由贸易。稳定可预期的市场准入，能让贸易往来更加顺畅，实现双方共赢。美中大豆合作具备结构性、基础性特征，并非短期周期性合作，互利共赢的事实清晰、经过验证且长久可持续。”

Morgan Stanley Chief China Economist Robin Xing said greater strategic stability between China and the US would benefit both economies.
摩根士丹利中国首席经济学家邢自强认为，中美提升战略稳定性，将惠及两国经济。

"Even if the two sides continue to have divergent interests and priorities in certain situations and sensitive areas, competition is normal. But reaching consensus on the broader global development agenda and establishing a relatively stable strategic environment would be more beneficial to both sides," Xing said on the sidelines of the 2026 Tsinghua PBCSF Chief Economists Forum in Beijing on Saturday.
周六在北京举办的 2026 清华五道口首席经济学家论坛间隙邢自强表示：“即便双方在部分场景和敏感领域，利益与关注重点存在分歧，竞争本身属于正常现象。但如果能在更广的全球发展议题上达成共识，搭建相对稳定的战略环境，对两国都会更有利。”
