Chinese Foreign Minister: Beijing is not afraid of confrontation with Washington

China is not afraid of confrontation with the United States, but would welcome cooperation if it is mutually beneficial, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said today.

The problems in the US-China relationship are due to “incorrect strategic assessments” by the US side, Wang said in a speech posted on the State Department website.

“If there is a confrontation, China will not be afraid of it and will fight to the end,” he said.

Wang added that “there is nothing wrong” with the competition, but that it should be “positive”.

Relations between the United States and China are at a low ebb due to a range of disagreements, including the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, trade, human rights and Beijing’s growing pressure on Taiwan.

In a telephone conversation last month that lasted more than three hours, US President Joe Biden pressured his Xi Jinping counterpart on human rights issues, while Xi warned that China would respond to what he called a challenge to its issue. Taiwan.
