Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the remark in an interview with the official Xinhua news agency late on Wednesday, putting forward four principles to advance Sino-US ties.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAvoid confrontation, keep the channels open for candid dialog, reject decoupling, stand up to shared responsibilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

The administration of US President Donald Trump took a stern anti-China posture soon after it took office in 2017. It has clashed with Beijing over trade, the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n

Recently, and as the presidential election draws near in the US, the Trump administration has been ramping up the tensions noticeably.<\/p>\n\n

Wang said a diplomatic war would be wrong.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAnyone who tries to start a new Cold War in the 21st century will be on the wrong side of history and will only be remembered as the one who has upended international cooperation,\u201d China\u2019s top diplomat added.
\nLast month, the US abruptly ordered the closure of China\u2019s consulate in Houston, Texas. China reciprocated by ordering that the US consulate in Chengdu shut down.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cChina has no intention to fight a \u2018diplomatic war\u2019 with the US as it will only hurt the interests of the two peoples even more,\u201d Wang further said, adding, however, that, \u201cIf the US is bent on going down the wrong path, China is ready to make due response.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

This week, the US said it was sending a cabinet secretary to Taiwan in a snub of the Chinese government, which is opposed to official exchanges between foreign governments and the self-ruled island.<\/p>\n\n

Beijing has sovereignty over Taiwan, and under the \u201cOne China\u201d policy, almost all world countries recognize that sovereignty. The US, too, recognizes Chinese sovereignty over the island but has long courted Taipei in an attempt to counter Beijing.<\/p>\n\n

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Chinese foreign minister urged Washington to \u201creject decoupling and uphold cooperation,\u201d stressing that the interests of both countries were deeply entwined.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cForced decoupling will inflict a lasting impact on bilateral relations, and endanger the security of international industrial chains and interests of all countries,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n\n

The White House has been persistently pushing to banish Chinese technology from the American computer and smartphone industries, accusing Chinese firms of spying. Beijing strongly denies the allegation.<\/p>\n\n

Trump has previously suggested that a complete break could take place in his administration\u2019s relations with China.<\/p>\n\n
