( CNN ) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao this week will lay out his vision for U.S.-Chinese relations based on strategic mutual trust , state-run media reports , amid recent hints of Washington 's frustrations with Beijing . Hu is expected to lay out his blueprint during his three days in Washington , where he 'll meet with President Barack Obama , top legislators and business executives , followed by a stop in Chicago . A report Sunday in Xinhua , China 's official news agency , said that despite certain differences a constructive , comprehensive partnership between the powers could be mutually beneficial and help ensure stability in Asia and worldwide -- points Hu will stress during time in the United States . Zhang Yesui , China 's ambassador to the United States , hyped the visit as vital to relations between the Communist state and democratic power , according to another Xinhua report published Saturday . He said that it was important to continue bilateral ties and address issues through dialogue , while adding that disagreements were inevitable given political , cultural and economic differences . Ultimately , Zhang said , the nations can and should create a `` win-win situation '' through positive diplomacy . This hopeful rhetoric , though , comes as officials in Washington have recently suggested that Beijing has been slow to act in some respects , and generally should consider altering its approach to reflect its increasing influence . On Friday , a U.S. delegation sent to China to negotiate economic deals returned from a three-day trip `` highly disappointed '' with the lack of progress , according to a senior administration official . The official , displaying obvious frustration , told CNN that `` prospects for a joint economic statement '' before Hu 's visit to the White House `` are hanging by a thread . '' Typically the joint statement is a formal expression of agreement between the two countries . A failure to issue one is often considered a sign of failed diplomacy . `` That does n't mean things ca n't improve , '' the official said , `` but we have n't seen it yet . '' In a speech at the State Department Friday , U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that China must assume the responsibility of being a world power , rather than basing policies on its own self-interest . `` Embracing the obligations that come with being a 21st-century power will help to realize a future that will give the Chinese people even more , in fact , unimagined opportunities , '' she said . `` But that means accepting a share of the burden of solving common problems , abiding by and helping to shape a rules-based international order . '' Clinton acknowledged that relations between Beijing and Washington were at a `` critical juncture , '' noting persisting tensions on economic and security issues and accusing China of discriminatory practices that put American firms at a disadvantage . Still , insisting that the United States does n't view China as a threat , she said , `` our economies are intertwined and so are our futures . '' `` A thriving America is good for China , and a thriving China is good for America , '' said the top U.S. diplomat . One hot-button issue that Beijing addressed on Sunday was the Korean peninsula , days after Clinton urged China to use its `` unique ties '' with North Korea to tamp down tensions there . Urging an early resumption of long-stalled six-party talks committed to reining in North Korea 's nuclear program , Assistant Foreign Minister Hu Zhengyue told Xinhua that `` the peninsula 's denuclearization and the normalization of relations '' was in all parties ' interest . `` China will continue to work with all the parties concerned and the international community to ensure peace , stability and prosperity , '' he said .
