China has accused the United States of „bringing relations between the two countries to the brink of a new Cold War.“ „We have noticed that some US political forces are taking US-China relations hostage and putting our two countries on the brink of a new Cold War,“ Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the press today.
Relations between the two countries had recently worsened due to, among other things, the coronavirus pandemic and the status of Hong Kong. Wang complained of a „political virus“ in Washington. The list of „lies and conspiracy theories“ in the United States against China is getting longer.
The United States and China have a great responsibility for peace and development in the world. Both sides should also work together to fight Covid-19 lung disease. China and the United States could only benefit from cooperation, but only lose if confronted, the Foreign Minister warned. China will defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
