Li calls for efforts to expand pie of Sino-US cooperation

Premier Li Qiang said on Sunday that there are no winners in trade wars and that no country can achieve development and prosperity through imposing tariffs.

Li made the remarks while meeting with United States Senator Steve Daines and a group of US executives in Beijing following an annual high-level development forum.

Li said that relations between the two countries "have come to an important juncture" and noted that President Xi Jinping said during a phone call with US President Donald Trump in January that the two countries could become partners and friends that contribute to each other's success.
