China’s new premier says his government is committed to strong relations with the U.S. and sees a strong outlook for trade and investment between the sides.<\/p>\n
Li Keqiang told reporters at a Sunday news conference that despite their differences, conflict between the world’s first and second largest economies is not inevitable.<\/p>\n
China’s new leaders “attach great importance” to relations with the U.S. and will work with Barack Obama’s administration to move ties into a new stage, Li said.<\/p>\n
Two-way trade hit almost $500 billion last, although disputes linger over Chinese trade practices, opposition to Chinese investment in the U.S. and complaints over alleged Chinese computer hacking.<\/p>\n
Li was speaking in his first news conference since being appointed premier last week with primary responsibility for running the Chinese economy.<\/p>\n
