It is a serious misjudgment of China's strategic intention to say China aims to displace the US, Chinese Ambassador to the US Qin Gang said, stressing that China does not bet against the US but is glad to see the US resolve its problems by itself, not by undercutting other countries.
Qin made the remarks at a welcome event held for him by the National Committee on US-China Relations Board of Directors on Monday. "We need to return to rationality, take a responsible attitude to history, to the two peoples and to the world, and maintain the right direction of China-US relations," he said.
Qin spoke highly of the enduring efforts made by the Committee in promoting China-US relations and noted the elder generations of Chinese and American leaders who showed great strategic wisdom, vision and courage in the Ping Pong diplomacy and normalization of bilateral relations.
China-US relations have come to another historic juncture, Qin said, adding that the extreme China policy of the previous US administration has caused serious damage to the relations, and that such a situation has not changed and is even continuing, going against the fundamental interests of Chinese and American people and the wishes of the international community.
Some people in the US believe China's goal is to challenge and displace the US, which is a serious misjudgment of China's strategic intention. China never bets its own future on other countries; we only want to surpass ourselves. China and the US are inseparable stakeholders, and the success of one side is critical to the other, Qin said.
He said China is closely linked to the US and integrated with the world. It would be absurd and dangerous to apply the "Cold War playbook" to today's China-US relations, or to take China as the US' rival and imaginary enemy, just like when Don Quixote tilted at windmills, Qin said.
