Beijing urged Washington on Tuesday to stop distorting China's strategic intention and discard its "outdated Cold War mentality" after the US administration released its national security strategy calling China "competition" that threatens United States security.
Analysts said that the two countries should better manage their ties to prevent their deterioration, especially in economic and trade areas, which would harm both sides.
China would like the US to treat the bilateral ties in an objective and reasonable manner, abide by related promises and act in a way that maintains a healthy development of the relations, which is the correct choice to meet the interests of both sides and the whole world, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said.
"As two big countries, it's natural that China and the US have some disagreements," she said in a news conference. Mentioning that China has contributed more than 30 percent to global economic growth in recent years, she said China will continue to boost practical cooperation with all countries.
