China recently urged the United States to initiate steps to repair damaged bilateral ties as the US administration reportedly mulls over a fresh probe into Chinese industrial subsidies. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian called on the United States to uphold the spirit of the telephonic talk last week between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping.

“President Xi Jinping pointed that for some time, due to the US policy on China, the China-U.S. relationship has run into serious difficulty. This serves neither the fundamental interests of the people of the two countries, nor the common interests of countries around the world,” Zhao said during a routine news briefing in Beijing.

“We hope the U.S. and Chinese departments concerned will act in accordance with the spirit of the heads of states’ call, properly deal with differences, step up cooperation and get bilateral relations back to the right track of steady development,” he said.

Zhao was responding to a question about a Bloomberg News report last week regarding a meeting on a potential investigation into Chinese subsidies and their economic impact.

Zhao also took a swipe at Trump’s trade policies comparing them to “lifting rocks which eventually fell on their own foot.”

“The US is prepared to have more candid exchanges and constructive discussions with China to identify key and priority areas where cooperation is possible, avoid miscommunication, miscalculation and unintended conflict, and get US-China relations back on track,” he added.
