China signaled it did not want relations with the U.S. to worsen and urged against the creation of a “new Cold War” as the world’s two biggest economies continue to clash on multiple fronts.
“We reject any attempt to artificially create a so-called ‘new Cold War,’” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in an interview with the official Xinhua News Agency late Wednesday. “Anyone who tries to start a new Cold War in the 21st century will be on the wrong side of history and will only be remembered as the one who has upended international cooperation.”
