WASHINGTON: The United States has to be aware that there is “a rising anger” among the Chinese public over Washington’s hostile moves against China, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai has said.
Cui made the remark when he attended the 2020 Aspen Security Forum on Aug. 4 and had an online interview with Nicholas Burns, executive director of the Aspen Strategy Group, and Andrea Mitchell, chief foreign affairs correspondent of NBC News, on issues related to China-U.S. relations.
“The Chinese people are also very much shocked. They feel very disappointed about what is happening in this country towards China,” said Cui. “There’s a rising anger among the Chinese public.”
“You are asking us what we can do to make the relations better. And people in China are asking what the United States can do to make the relations better. For many of the issues, sometimes I just don’t understand why misconceptions could continue and even spread,” he said.
“I want to be very honest and frank with all of you, the real question for America is: Is the United States ready to live with another country with a different history, different culture, different system, but with no intention to compete for global dominance with the United States?” Cui asked. – Agencies
