China's ambassador to the United States suddenly addressed the United States, we have actively created a way for the US to back down! On October 15th, according to foreign media reports, at the annual award dinner of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, our ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng, stated that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the Sino-U.S. relationship had just been cooled down and stabilized, but recently there have been new incidents. However, a tariff war and trade war would only result in mutual losses, and equality, respect, and mutual benefit are the only way to properly resolve differences.
Ambassador Xie said that the US should return to reason, stop extreme pressure, and under the new circumstances, the common interests between China and the US are not decreasing, but increasing. China and the US should strive to be partners and friends rather than rivals and enemies. Obviously, when the possibility of the Sino-US trade war opening up 2.0 is high, our ambassador to the US issuing this statement to the US is unusual. Our message to the US is clear: China and the US should properly handle their differences, rather than allowing hostility to rise.
Our statements like this are certainly setting the tone, which is that the US should return to the consensus already reached between China and the US, and not think about creating empty cards to gain an advantage in negotiations. Of course, whether the US will listen to our statements or not is uncertain. But our statement shows that we are handling the Sino-US relationship in a responsible manner, and we are actively giving the US a way to back down. Obviously, such a statement does not mean that we will sacrifice our own interests and compromise with the US. If the US is wise, it should seize our olive branch and properly deal with the differences.
