TEHRAN, Jan 7 - A Chinese government spokesman has urged the U.S. to create good conditions for reaching agreement in trade talks after Beijing complained over the sighting of a U.S. warship in what it said were Chinese waters.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Lu Kang's comment to reporters Monday came after officials from both sides sat down for talks in Beijing aimed at resolving a dispute over Beijing's technology ambitions.
Lu said China had made "stern complaints" and that the USS McCampbell had violated Chinese and international law.
He said, "As for whether this move has any impact to the ongoing China-U.S. trade consultations... to properly resolve existing issues of all kinds between China and the U.S. is good for the two countries and the world."
He added, "The two sides both have responsibility to create necessary and good atmosphere to this end."
