This means that Beijing is expressing its willingness to improve relations with the new US administration.
Han is coming at the invitation of the American side, Chinese national television announced.
“We are ready to strengthen dialogue and communication with the new US government, properly manage differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and jointly promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US relations,” China Central Television (CCTV) announced.
“China has always viewed and developed Sino-American relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and cooperation for the benefit of all”.
“China is willing to find the right way for China and the United States to get along in the new era,” CCTV said.
On January 6, Trump said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping were communicating through representatives, expressing optimism about their relationship.
But he also said he would impose additional 10 percent tariffs on Chinese goods unless Beijing did more to stop the trade in the highly addictive narcotic fentanyl. He threatened tariffs of more than 60 percent on Chinese goods while on the campaign trail.
Relations between the United States and China have long been strained, in part because of a bitter trade war that Trump unleashed during his first term, from 2017 to 2021, by imposing steep tariffs on Chinese imports.
