(Photo : Reuters/Brian Snyder) China's State Councillor Yang Jiechi (L) and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry are welcomed for a tour of Peacefield House, home of U.S. Presidents John and John Quincy Adams, in Quincy, Massachusetts October 18, 2014.
Official representatives from China and United States convene on Saturday in an in-depth discourse of intertwining issues a month prior to President Barrack Obama's visit to Beijing.
Part of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit is the realization of "new and positive progress," which was first initiated during President Xi Jinping's last visit in Annenberg Estate in California. Both nations gear towards a non-violent and non-confrontational consensus on matters that effect peace, cultural differences and bilateral trades.

China State Councilor Yang Jiechi said that the country is willing to cooperate with Obama to achieve positive results in strengthening China-U.S. relations. During the meeting, Yang reiterated China's position in denuclearizing North Korea in order to maintain international stability, said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang.
China also condemns any acts of terrorism and supports effort to disarm rebels particularly in the Middle East. However, Yang urged that peace talks must be based on the United Nations Charter with respect to territorial sovereignty and integrity.
Meanwhile, Yang added that China is strengthening ties with U.S. in the fight against Ebola. He also mentioned that the Chinese community is willing to extend humanitarian aid, which includes financial backing and medical support, to countries severely affected by the virus.
In relation to incidents of hacking, Yang told U.S. State Secretary John Kerry that resumption of cyber talks appears to be quite difficult due to unfounded charges of the U.S. against China. In May, five Chinese military officers were accused of hacking American websites that promptly halted the U.S.-Sino cyber security deals.
Edward Snowden, a former U.S. spy agency freelancer, alleged that Americans have also hacked websites of universities in China and Hong Kong. The Chinese government used Snowden's statement in accusing the White House of hypocrisy.
