📢 Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng, sent a clear message at the annual National Committee on U.S.-China Relations gala: it's time for Washington to come back to its senses and drop its 'maximum pressure' strategy. 🎤
Speaking to a mixed crowd of policymakers, thinkers, and business leaders, Xie warned that a full-on tariff or trade war "serves no one's interest" and "cannot be won." He stressed that while the Chinese mainland doesn’t want conflict, it won’t stand by if its rights and the principles of the global trading system are under threat. 🚫💰
His main ask? "Let's talk it out," Xie urged, calling for dialogue rooted in mutual respect and equal-footed consultation. He warned against chasing the old pattern of escalating tensions, which only leads to a dead end. 🤝🌎
Looking ahead, Xie focused on a roadmap for smoother ties: maintain mutual respect, seek peaceful coexistence, and aim for win-win cooperation. He wants both sides to "join hands, build on what's been achieved, and steer clear of disruptions" so that China-U.S. relations can keep moving forward on a steady, sustainable track. 🚀🔄
For young news enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and students watching global markets, this call isn’t just diplomatic jargon—it’s a reminder that in our interconnected world, real progress comes from conversations, not conflicts. 🌐✨
