China emphasized the need for greater cooperation with the U.S., a day after it became clear President-elect Donald Trump would become the next leader of the White House.
“The Chinese side is willing, on the basis of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, to increase communication with the U.S., expand cooperation and resolve differences”, He Yongqian, spokesperson at China’s Ministry of Commerce, told reporters Thursday in Mandarin, according to a CNBC translation.
She was responding to a question about China’s views and planned countermeasures, given the potential for increased U.S. tariffs and restrictions on high-end tech.
“Together [we can] push China-U.S. economic and trade relations toward a stable, healthy and sustainable direction, for the benefit of both countries and the world”, the commerce spokesperson said.
