China's policy towards the US

China is always guided by the principles of common respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation with the US. China's policy towards the United States remains stable,” said MFA spokesperson China Mao Ning on 5 November, commenting on conflicting signals from the US.

At a press conference, 1 of the journalists asked about fresh statements made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who described China as “an unreliable partner”. Meanwhile, just a fewer days earlier U.S. president Donald Trump had finished his gathering with the Chinese leader, praising the course of the talks. How does the Chinese side comment on these contradictory signals from the US?

Mao Ning stressed that China's policy towards the United States remains stable. “We are always looking at Chinese-American relations and conducting them on the basis of 3 principles: common respect, peaceful coexistence and cooperation beneficial to both parties,” said the spokesperson.

She added that China is firmly defending its sovereignty, safety and improvement interests. Maintaining a healthy and unchangeable Chinese-American relation is in the primary interest of both nations and is besides a universal anticipation of the global community.
