BEIJING, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao on Thursday called on China and the United States to break the traditional belief that big powers will enter into conflicts, and seek new ways to develop relations between major countries.

Hu made the remarks when addressing the Opening Session of the fourth round of China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogues (S&ED) on Thursday morning in Beijing.


To build such a new type of relations between China and the United States as two major countries, we need to think creatively, he said.

Forty years ago, China and the United States made a creative move by issuing the Shanghai Communique, said Hu, adding that the Communique, which both affirmed the shared views of the two countries and listed their differences truthfully, established the basic principles guiding China-U.S. relations.

Hu said that China and the United States are now in the second decade of the 21st century, and the both sides need to advance with the times in our thinking, policies and actions.
