China's Xi Jinping says Western countries led by the US 'have implemented all-round containment' against Beijing as Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang warns of confrontation with Washington DC
Chinese leader says Western countries led by the US"have implemented all-round containment" as Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang warns that Beijing and Washington are headed for “conflict" if the US does not change course.
Xi made the statement on Tuesday as Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang warned that Beijing and Washington are headed for “conflict and confrontation” if the US doesn't change course, Xi, who will be granted a third consecutive presidential term in the coming days at the National People's Congress , said the past five years had been riddled with a new set of hurdles that threatened to weigh down China's economic rise.
Urging Washington to "meet halfway", Qin said the two powers' relationship needed to be based on mutual interests and friendship, rather than "US domestic politics and hysterical neo-McCarthyism". “If the United States does not hit the brake, but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing and there surely will be conflict and confrontation,” said Qin, whose new position is junior to the Communist Party’s senior foreign policy official, Wang Yi.
