The world must avoid a new Cold War, Chinese State Councillor Wang Yi (pictured, left), the government’s top diplomat, said on Tuesday (25 August) in apparent reference to escalating tensions between China and the United States, writes Angelo Angelo.

Speaking on a visit to Italy, Wang said it was important for China and the European Union to strengthen their own ties and cooperate further in the fight against the coronavirus.

U.S. President Donald Trump has blamed China for the spread of the deadly disease. He is also looking to restrict the global development of Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Co [HWT.UL].

“China will never want a Cold War ... because a Cold War would be a step backwards,” Wang told reporters, speaking through an interpreter. “We will not let other countries do this for their own private interests, while damaging the interests of other countries.”
