Reset in bilateral ties seen benefiting all

Restoring healthy China-US relations can avert 'political tragedy', envoy says

Putting China-US relations back on the track of healthy and stable development at an early date serves the fundamental interests of the two peoples and meets the expectations of the international community, a top Chinese envoy said in Washington on Tuesday.

Speaking at an online reception for the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang cautioned that the US' strategic misperceptions could lead the two countries into a "political tragedy", and cooperation is the only right way out.

"In the world today, the trends of turbulence and transformation are evolving, and deficits in development and security are looming large. China and the United States have huge common interests and common responsibilities, and cooperation is the only correct choice," the ambassador said.
