China seeks partnership with US to strengthen ties, envoy says
China's ambassador to the U.S., Xie Feng, stated that China wants to be partners and friends with the United States. He emphasized the need for dialogue to strengthen relations between the two countries. Xie noted that China does not aim to surpass the U.S. and called for cooperation in areas like trade, agriculture, and public health. He highlighted Taiwan as a key issue that could lead to conflict. Chinese President Xi Jinping urged against unilateralism and protectionism, advocating for economic globalization. This comes as the U.S. prepares for Donald Trump's return to the presidency, who has proposed significant tariffs on Chinese imports.
