Yang Jiechi said that in the past two days, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and I had long-term strategic communications with Secretary of State Brinken and Assistant Sullivan, and conducted candid and constructive exchanges on our respective domestic and foreign policies and bilateral relations.
This dialogue is beneficial and conducive to enhancing mutual understanding.
The two sides still have important differences on some issues.
China will firmly safeguard its national sovereignty, security and development interests.
China's development and growth is unstoppable.
The communication between the two parties this time is to implement the consensus reached by President Xi Jinping and President Biden on the call.
We hope that the two sides will strengthen communication, exchanges and dialogue in various fields.
The two sides should handle Sino-US relations in accordance with the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation, so that Sino-US relations can develop on a healthy and stable track.
Wang Yi said that China has come to the dialogue with sincerity, because dialogue is better than confrontation, but dialogue must be conducted in the spirit of mutual respect and seeking common ground while reserving differences, and cannot unilaterally pull orders and raise prices.
There are many concerns on both sides.
There are some doubts that can be alleviated through dialogue.
Some are long-standing problems that can be managed through dialogue.
At the same time, China clearly pointed out to the US that sovereignty and territorial integrity are major issues of principle. The US should not underestimate China's determination to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and the Chinese people's will to safeguard national dignity and legitimate rights and interests.
China's attitude towards the development of Sino-US relations is clear and consistent.
It is hoped that the United States can also meet each other halfway, especially to respect and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns.
