Summary:China and the US are friends and partners and will be better friends and better partners in the future. Politically, China and the US are both permanent members of the Security Council of the United Nations. They share the major responsibility in maintaining peace and stability all over the world. Chinese people stand firmly on the side of the American people on the war against terrorism because they understand China is also a victim of terrorism. Despite news media reports of certain cases of Chinese companies violating rules, China and the US are cooperating to stop proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. China now is the fourth largest partner of the US, and the US is China's number 2 largest trading partner and also its number 1 foreign direct investor. Another area of cooperation between these two countries is international and regional issues, for instance, Iraq and now North Korea.
