China has no need or intention to replace US
Print Edition
China is on a long march to modernization and it has no need or intention to replace the international role played by the United States, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
“Some Americans allege that China will replace America’s role in the world. This conclusion is fundamentally wrong.”
On trade frictions between the two countries, Wang said trade war is never the right solution as it will harm both the initiator as well as the target country in a globalized world.
“In the event of a trade war, China will make a justified and necessary response,” Wang said. “We hope China and the US will have a calm and constructive dialog as equals, and find a win-win solution.”
Despite elements of competition, Sino-American ties are defined more by partnership, not rivalry, he added.
Citing a latest poll, Wang said over half of American people have a favorable view of China and the figure has been rising steadily in recent years.
“I hope people will not focus just on the problems of China-US relations, but also pay attention to the positive aspects,” he said.
“The more China develops, the more it can contribute to the world,” the foreign minister said, stressing China’s commitment to peaceful development and cooperation.
