It means pretty much what it says: "Relations with China have never been better " -- means that at no time in the past were relations better than they are now; they're better than (or at least as good as) they've ever been. "In the Championships he was never better than fourth" -- means that fourth was his best finish. ".

  • In this case it may not have its strict literal meaning; it just means something like "very well indeed".
