At a regular press briefing in Beijing on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, “The US should stick to the right perception and work with China to deliver on the common understandings reached in the San Francisco meeting.” Wang was alluding to a meeting between the leaders of the two countries last month.
He declared that the US should “quit viewing China as a potential enemy and saying one thing but doing another.”
During a discussion in California on Saturday, Raimondo stated that she need additional cash to stop the Asian country from obtaining semiconductors that may be utilised for military applications. Declaring that “China is not our friend,” she described this as “the biggest threat we’ve ever faced.”
At their first meeting in a year, which took place in the US last month, President Joe Biden and Chinese Leader Xi Jinping achieved a few minor wins that they believe would avert an escalation in hostilities that endangered global economic expansion.
However, the two that remain have significant challenges like Taiwan’s position and the US tech limits, so they’ll probably have to work hard to resolve their disputes on a daily basis. China’s criticism of the US on Monday after an American destroyer cruised in disputed territory in the South China Sea highlighted that dynamic. According to the US Navy, its actions were legal.
Vice Premier He Lifeng, China’s economic czar, met with former Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass in Beijing on Monday, indicating that the two countries are still striving to strengthen their relations.
Among other things, they talked about trade and economic cooperation, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. Additionally, he informed Haass that Beijing was prepared to collaborate with Washington in order to carry out the agreement that Xi and Biden came to and to advance trade and economic relations.

In August, Raimondo went to Beijing as the two countries attempted to mend their relations. During that visit, Huawei Technologies Co. unveiled a new phone that included a cutting-edge processor, alarming lawmakers in Washington.
She implied in her remarks on Saturday that the US would not back down from its efforts to keep China from obtaining premium chips. She declared, “We’re going to deny them our most advanced technology.”
According to Wang, the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, the US’s “Cold War mentality” and ambition for hegemony were made clear by that position. He also hinted that his country might eventually overcome the technological restrictions.
“Breaking the rules and regulations of the free-trade market is akin to constructing a dam using a sieve,” the speaker stated. “The water will just flow through it, no matter how hard you try.”
