China Warns of ‘Catastrophic Consequences’ of U.S. Zero-Sum Strategy

There could be “catastrophic consequences” for U.S.-China relations if Washington continued with its efforts to “contain and suppress” China under the pretext of competition between rivals, Foreign Minister Qin Gang said Tuesday.

The diplomat also rejected Western countries’ rationale for their pressure and sanctions against China on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, reiterating that China has not provided weapons to either side.
