This year, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland, when the song of the Seven Sons resounds in our ears again.

— — 40 years of diplomatic relations between China and the United States
On January 1, 2019, China and the United States celebrated the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Over the past 40 years, the great development of Sino-US relations has far exceeded the expectations of that year. The ups and downs of Sino-American exchanges for 40 years have also given enough lessons and enlightenment.
If you combine, it will benefit both sides, but if you fight, it will hurt both sides. Nowadays, whether China-US relations in the "year of no doubt" can break through the fog and move towards win-win cooperation is not only related to the interests of the two peoples, but also will have a far-reaching impact on the international community.
