Chinanews.com, Beijing, January 26 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 26th that he hopes that the new US administration can learn from the Trump administration’s erroneous policies towards China and be objective and rational. We should treat China and Sino-US relations in a positive and constructive way, meet China halfway, focus on cooperation, manage differences, and push Sino-US relations back on the right track of healthy and stable development.
A reporter asked questions. The White House spokesperson said on the 25th that the United States will compete fiercely with China and Biden will use "patient" to handle relations with China.
What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian stated that in the past few years, the Trump administration has made directional errors, treating China as a strategic competitor or even a threat, and accordingly adopted a series of wrong actions that interfere with China’s internal affairs and harm China’s interests. The extremely severe situation in Sino-US relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is not in the fundamental interests of the two peoples.
As China has pointed out many times, as two major countries, China and the United States share extensive common interests and shoulder special important responsibilities in maintaining world peace and stability and promoting global development and prosperity.
Cooperation between China and the United States will benefit both, while fighting will hurt both. Cooperation is the only correct choice for both parties.
"We hope that the new administration of the United States can learn from the Trump administration’s wrong policy toward China, treat China and Sino-US relations in an objective and rational manner, adopt a positive and constructive policy toward China, meet China halfway, and focus on cooperation. Manage differences and push Sino-US relations back on the right track of healthy and stable development." Zhao Lijian said.
A reporter asked a question. A spokesperson for the US State Department said that Biden said he would ensure that Chinese companies would not abuse US data and protect US data security.
What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian stated that China has always attached great importance to and is actively committed to protecting intellectual property rights, and the efforts and results made are obvious to all.
At the same time, China believes that scientific and technological achievements should benefit all mankind, and should not become a means to restrict the development of other countries.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that we hope that the United States will not politicize and weaponize scientific and technological issues, stop unprovoked accusations and smears of China, and work with the international community to create an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological development.
