China’s top diplomat warns of brewing ‘conflict and confrontation’ with US

China and the United States are on a path to “conflict and confrontation,” the head of the communist power’s foreign ministry warned while denouncing President Trump’s administration.

“Some American politicians who are biased against and hostile to China are using their power to smear China with fabrications and impede normal ties with China under various pretexts,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Wang Yi told state-run media. “Ultimately, they want to drag China and the U.S. into renewed conflict and confrontation and plunge the world into chaos and division again.”
