Speaking at an event in Washington, the ambassador emphasized the need for both nations to focus on constructive cooperation, rather than rivalry, in order to avoid the negative consequences of trade and scientific conflicts.
The ambassador stressed that respect for each other’s sovereignty is essential for maintaining stable bilateral relations.
He also addressed the sensitive issue of Taiwan, reiterating that it remains a “red line” for China, and warned that any actions to challenge Beijing’s position on Taiwan would not be tolerated.
“No one can stop China’s development,” the ambassador stated, adding that attempts to hinder China’s progress would be “like hitting a wall.”
He called for a future in which the US and China work together to create opportunities, rather than obstacles, benefiting not only their own citizens but also the broader global community.
Highlighting China’s openness to dialogue, the ambassador expressed optimism about future cooperation on global issues such as climate change, health, and economic growth.
He invited the US to join China in addressing these challenges, focusing on collaboration rather than competition.
In conclusion, the ambassador emphasized that mutual success between the two countries could only be achieved through a focus on shared interests and respect for each other’s sovereignty, warning that conflict would undermine any efforts at long-term partnership.
