Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Feng said that there is a need for Beijing and Washington to reach a correct path of understanding between them, given that any confrontation between them will eventually harm the interests of the two countries and the world as a whole.

This came during the speech of Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng at the opening of the Fourth International Influence Forum of the Chinese Think Tank, which was organized by the Chong Yang Institute for Financial Studies.

He added that China and America, as the world's two largest economies and permanent members of the UN Security Council, share broad common interests in ensuring world peace and stability, and promoting global development and prosperity, and bear a special responsibility for this.

And he continued: The whole world is watching what China and the United States are doing, so the two countries must deal responsibly with history and peace, and when China and the United States enter into a war with each other, whether this war is “cold or hot”, commercial or technological, it ends up causing damage. In the interests of China, the United States and all countries of the world, according to what was reported by the «Novosti» agency.
