At an open house in northwest China's Gansu Province, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Xie Feng delivered a clear message amid trade tensions: if the U.S. wants to talk, it should act with equality, respect, and reciprocity.
Addressing the recent U.S. tariff hikes, Xie Feng emphasized that China does not seek a trade war and remains undeterred in defending its legitimate rights and upholding the order of international trade. He reminded us that no country can thrive alone in today's interconnected global economy, where cooperation fuels shared growth. 😎
Highlighting the economic ties between China and the U.S., the ambassador noted that the overall relationship is balanced and mutually beneficial. In 2022 alone, sales revenue from U.S.-owned enterprises in China exceeded that of Chinese-owned enterprises in the U.S. by over $400 billion, proving that global trade benefits everyone.
Amid challenging global conditions, China's growth continues to shine with a 5.4% GDP increase in the first quarter and a 6.9% rise in exports. Tourism is booming too, with 64.88 million foreign visits last year and a 173% jump in inbound bookings during the May Day holiday week!
Xie Feng's remarks remind us that respect and cooperation—the real superpowers—can overcome barriers. Just like in your favorite blockbusters, teamwork beats conflict every time! 🚀🌍
