‘China hopes next US admin will restore normalcy to bilateral ties’

Beijing, Jan 2 : China hopes that the next US administration under President-elect Joe Biden will return to a “sensible approach”, resume dialogue with Beijing, restore normalcy to the bilateral relations and restart cooperation, Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
“China-US relations have come to a new crossroads, and a new window of hope is opening,” Wang said in an interview with Xinhua news agency published on Saturday.
He said in recent years, China-US relations have run into “unprecedented difficulties”.
Fundamentally, it all comes down to the serious misconceptions of US policymakers about China, according to Wang.
Some see China as the so-called biggest threat and their policy based on this misperception is simply wrong, he said.
“What has happened proves that the US attempt to suppress China and start a new Cold War has not just seriously harmed the interests of the two peoples, but also caused severe disruptions to the world.
