He said as Foreign Minister Wang Yi has reiterated, China and the U.S. should try to find a way through dialogue for two major countries different in system, culture, and stage of development to coexist peacefully and even achieve win-win results.
“Whoever tied the knot is responsible for untying it. The U.S. side needs to change course, work with China on the basis of mutual respect, and embrace fair competition and peaceful coexistence with China. After all, a healthy and stable China-U.S. relationship serves the interests of both sides and will be good news for the world as well”, Lijian added.
