歷史雄辯地說明，中美之間建立在平等互利基礎(chǔ)上的勞動(dòng)分工是最為合理和實(shí)用的國際關(guān)系。中國物美價(jià)廉的制成品源源不斷地走上美國超級(jí)市場的貨架，而美國的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品、高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)品，連同跨國公司的資本和技術(shù)，滾滾不息地涌進(jìn)中國內(nèi)地。中國人民以其勤勞的雙手，增進(jìn)了美國的福祉，促使其產(chǎn)業(yè)升級(jí)換代；而北美這塊廣袤而又富饒的土地，也以其精華滋潤和促進(jìn)了中國的現(xiàn)代化進(jìn)程。經(jīng)貿(mào)合作是兩國能夠找到共同語言的最佳領(lǐng)域。以謀求共同利益來減少或淡化意識(shí)形態(tài)差異和利益沖突，過去是、今后更是雙方尋求和平共處的必由之路。
