BEIJING: China's foreign minister said on Tuesday that Beijing and Washington can achieve "many great things" if they work together, ahead of next month's inauguration of president-elect Donald Trump. Wang said China's policy towards the United States "has not changed" during a Tuesday address in Beijing that reflected on the country's diplomatic work in the past year and its expectations for the future.
He said that economic working groups and cooperation on cross-border drug control "fully prove that as long as China and the United States cooperate, we can accomplish many great things". The China-US relationship may sour further after Trump is inaugurated on January 20, with the president-elect vowing more tariffs to punish what he calls unfair trade practices by China -- something Beijing firmly denies. Wang said Beijing hoped the Trump administration would "make the right choices, work with China in the same direction, eliminate disruptions, overcome obstacles and strive for stable, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral relations". — AFP
