Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom Liu Xiaoming said in a signed article published on The Sunday Telegraph that the trade dispute reveals three conflicts of views between China and the United States in terms of the world, cooperation and development, Xinhua reported.
“Anyone seen as having 'moved America's cheese,' be it an ally or not, is punished," he said.
By contrast, China sees its relations with the world as based on mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation, and aims to safeguard world peace and promote common development, Liu said.
In terms of cooperation, he said that the US has laid bare its belief in unilateralism, protectionism, "zero-sum games" and a "beggar-thy-neighbor" approach, which have been widely questioned and opposed by the international community.
China, by contrast, follows its time-honored philosophy of "strength through unity and weakness in isolation," supports the multilateral trade regime and builds an open world economy, he said.
"To maintain its competitive edge in a globalized world where the future and interests of all countries are intertwined, the US should build on its own strengths and cooperate with other countries," he said.
