Chinese ambassador to U.S. cautions "destructive forces" in bilateral relations
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- Noting that China-U.S. relations are at a "critical crossroads," Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai has said that "we must be alert that some destructive forces are taking advantage of the ongoing trade frictions."
"Extreme rhetoric, such as decoupling, a new 'Cold War,' and clash of civilizations, are having their way here," Cui said Wednesday night at a gala dinner held by the U.S.-China Business Council, which represents more than 200 U.S. companies that do business with China.
