Although it is far from an exact precedent, the historic 1972 Shanghai Communiqué signed by China and the US, which allowed both governments to “agree to disagree” on many issues while committing themselves to dialogue at the highest levels, offers a promising model. This far-sighted framework’s effectiveness has been well proven over time.
中美两国1972年签署的具有历史意义的上海公报让两国政府可以在许多问题上都“同意见解不同”，同时双方都承诺在最高级别对话。尽管这远非具体的先例，但是，它却提供了一个具有前途的模式。长期以来，这一高瞻远瞩的框架的有效性得到了证明。
