Reference News Network, February 28 report: According to AFP, on February 26, US Secretary of State Rubio said that the US-China relationship has reached a "stable state" amid long-term tensions.
The report said that Rubio told reporters, "I think the relationship between our two countries has at least reached some sort of strategic stable state."
Rubio said during a visit to the Caribbean small country of Saint Kitts and Nevis: "I think both the US and China have realized that a full-scale trade war between the two countries would cause serious damage to both sides and the world."
The report said that for a long time, Rubio has been a well-known hawk on China.
Rubio said that the United States will continue to raise concerns, including seeking to摆脱 dependence on supply chains led by China and achieve supply chain diversification.
He also said that the United States will continue to push for China to participate in trilateral nuclear agreement negotiations with the United States and Russia.
According to the Russian Sputnik website, on February 27, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stated at a regular press conference that it is unfair, unreasonable, and unfeasible to require China to participate in so-called "US-China-Russia trilateral nuclear disarmament talks" at this stage.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: "US Secretary of State Rubio said that any agreement limiting nuclear weapons must include the United States, Russia, and China."
Mao Ning said: "The Chinese side has explained its position on this issue many times. As a country with a large nuclear arsenal, the United States should genuinely fulfill its special and priority responsibility for nuclear disarmament, which is a general consensus in the international community. China's nuclear forces are not on the same level as those of the US and Russia. It is unfair, unreasonable, and unfeasible to require China to participate in so-called 'US-China-Russia trilateral nuclear disarmament talks' at this stage." (Translated by Zhang Sihao)
