The US ambassador to China says there's a lot of anticipation surrounding Chinese President Xi Jinping's time in the United States.

Max Baucus says the US side hopes the trip will expand practical cooperation and improve communication between the two countries.

"First is the opportunity to more fully expand our cooperative engagement with China. Each passing year there are more and more areas - environment, economic, political. It's a great opportunity. The second opportunity is for more frank discussions between our two countries. It's quite clear to me that we're entering into a new phase in the relationship."

Baucus says both sides have to work a bit harder these days to make the relationship move forward.

"In the meantime, as China grows, the United States and China have to adjust a little differently than in the past. And that's where I think it's really important to be honest and candid with each other because our goals are the same. We want a future for our kids and our grand kids."

Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to arrive in Seattle later on this Tuesday to begin his trip to the US, which will also see him make stops in Washington and New York.
