"Currently, Sino-US relations are standing at a new historical starting point. The China-US Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, as a high-level cooperation mechanism between the two governments, is already the 20th this year. Although the representatives of the two sides have changed several times, the cooperation mechanism is increasingly Perfect, the fields involved are more and more extensive," said Wang Qishan.
The China-US Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, which began in 1983, witnessed the continuous development of Sino-US economic and trade relations and played a role in alleviating the "lubricant" of economic and trade friction between the two sides. As Kirk said in his speech on the same day, when the first US-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade was held in 1983, the US-China trade volume was only more than 5 billion US dollars, and the US investment in China was only over 50 million US dollars.

The time when the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade was held was at a time when Sino-US economic and trade disputes continued to emerge.
