“We welcome more US companies to invest and do business in China [and] to share development opportunities together,” Han said, according to state media Xinhua.
He said Beijing’s approach to the United States was guided by “mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation”.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who last week wrapped up a four-day visit to Russia for security talks, met Paulson’s delegation on the same day.

“The nosedive of China-US relations does not meet the interests of the two peoples, the expectations of the international community and the trend of the times,” said Wang, according to a statement from his ministry.
“It is hoped that the United States will return to the rational and pragmatic track in its China policy, take concrete actions to lengthen the positive list and shorten the negative list, and work with China to explore ways of peaceful coexistence as two major countries,” said Wang, who also heads the ruling Communist Party’s foreign affairs office.
Wang expressed appreciation for Paulson’s “long-term commitment” to promoting the development of China-US relations with an “objective and rational attitude”, and hoped that he and his foundation would continue to play a constructive role.
