BEIJING: China's top diplomat condemned on Sunday the war in the Middle East and urged the United States to iron out its differences with Beijing. The world cannot return to the law of the jungle," he told reporters. Ties between China and the United States have been strained since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House last year, followed by a trade war that saw the two countries impose tit-for-tat tariffs on each other's products. Wang told reporters on Sunday that China and the United States must "make careful preparations, create a suitable environment, manage existing differences, and eliminate unnecessary interference". He also maintained that China's relations with Moscow, which have been criticised by Western countries as sustaining the war in Ukraine, remained "steadfast and unshakeable".
