New US Ambassador to China Max Baucus said the China-US relationship is considered the "most important bilateral relationship in the world" and the two countries should not be distracted by differences.

He said that as long as both sides work really hard, challenges like the territorial disputes in the South and East China seas will not be as big as they seem to be.
"National security will not be that high-profile if we really work hard to keep economic ties robust," the US ambassador said.
In highlighting how closely the two nations' economic interests are aligned, Baucus said more than 700,000 jobs in the United States have come from China and that each year more than half-a-trillion dollars in goods and services change hands between the two countries.
