China says there will 'surely be conflict' with US if Washington does not change path

ABC  

China's foreign minister has blamed the US for rising tensions between Washington and Beijing and said if the US does not change its path there will "surely be conflict and confrontation". Key points: China's foreign minister said the United States' perception and views of China were seriously distorted He said the US' handling of the spy balloon incident created a diplomatic crisis Relations between the two superpowers have been tense over issues including Taiwan, trade and Ukraine The US had been engaging in suppression and containment of China rather than competition, China's foreign minister Qin Gang told reporters at a news conference in Beijing on the sidelines of an annual parliament meeting. Mr Qin said the US policy towards China was "a reckless gamble", with the stakes being the fundamental interests of the two countries' people and even the future of humanity. He also said Beijing had not provided weapons to either side of the Ukraine conflict, amid loud warnings from US officials about unspecified "consequences" for China, should it send lethal aid to Russia.
