Cooperation of China, US ‘win-win’ for both – Beijing

Cooperation between China and the US will lead to a win-win outcome for both sides, but confrontation will bring mutual losses, China said on Tuesday. The statement came after Washington branded it a competitor that was seeking to challenge US power. Beijing hopes the US can seek common ground while respecting differences, China’s US embassy said. In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that China has always been a contributor to global development and a protector of the international order, Reuters reported. In a new national security strategy based on US President Donald Trump’s “America First” vision on Monday, the US described China and Russia together as competitors seeking to erode US security and prosperity.
