After the US Central Intelligence Agency launched a China Mission Centre, Chinese Ambassador
to the US, Qin Gang said in an article published (October 10) by the South China Morning Post,
that “Some people in the US, immersed in their delusions that they are James Bond, simply can’t
resist the urge to act out their own drama. Haven’t they been worn out by such meaningless and
harmful actions? Why not give themselves a break?” He said both countries should “avoid
miscommunication, miscalculation and unintended conflict” to put bilateral relations back on track.
Saying "It is normal for us to have economic competition and trade frictions. The key is how to
deal with them,” he added “We are willing to have further communication with the US side,
properly manage differences, and jointly create conditions to expand the positive side of our
relations on the basis of mutual respect and win-win cooperation.” Qin Gang also said Chinese
firms are finding it more difficult to invest in the US and list on US stock markets and that more
than 900 Chinese companies were subject to various restrictions and the US had used national
security as an excuse to target Chinese firms.
