US-China ties at a critical crossroad due to trade frictions, but it's possible to return to a better path, says ambassador Cui Tiankai.

China’s envoy to the United States yesterday said the two countries were trying to resolve their differences over trade, but he warned of forces that he said were trying to drive a wedge between the two, without providing any details.

“At the same time, we must be alert that some destructive forces are taking advantage of the ongoing trade friction extreme rhetoric such as ‘decoupling,’ the ‘new Cold War,’ and ‘clash of civilisations,’” Cui said. Cui’s comments came a day after US President Donald Trump said a long-awaited interim trade agreement with China could be delayed until after the US presidential election in Nov 2020, and amid US legislative moves to address the Uighur issue.

Anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong and Beijing’s treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority have also fanned longstanding human rights concerns. Beijing views US actions on both issues as interference in its sovereign concerns.
