BEIJING, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Cai Qi, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), met with John L. Thornton, co-chair of the Board of Trustees of the Asia Society, in Beijing on Friday.

Cai, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, said that at present, China-U.S. relations are at a critical crossroads, and to continuously stabilize and improve the relationship, the two sides need to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and find a correct way to get along based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
