Beijing’s top diplomat also tells delegation led by close Trump ally the two countries should be ‘partners rather than adversaries’
In his meeting with Daines on Thursday, China’s top diplomat said Beijing and Washington should seek “harmony without uniformity” and be “partners rather than adversaries”.
“The US should view China objectively, develop a rational perception of China, genuinely respect China’s core interests and properly manage differences,” Wang told Daines.
“Beijing would work with Washington to implement the consensus reached by the two leaders and truly stabilise and improve Sino-US relations,” Wang said, adding that they should jointly explore the right way for two major powers to get along.
Daines, a Republican from Montana and close Trump ally, is leading a five-member delegation visiting Shanghai and Beijing just days before the American leader’s rescheduled trip to Beijing.
