Department of State: US rivalry with China will not lead to major conflict

This was stated by US Assistant Secretary of State David Stilwell.

“Our rivalry with the People's Republic of China will not lead to conflict.

In fact, due to competition, we are restoring balance and stability in areas where the United States previously allowed Beijing to exacerbate an imbalance to the detriment of everyone else, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

According to him, Washington will also seek cooperation with Beijing in those areas where the interests of the two countries coincide.

Earlier, American leader Donald Trump announced the intention of the United States to take action against the World Trade Organization due to the decision of the WTO panel, which recognized Washington's increase in duties on Chinese goods as illegal.
