U.S. measures to suppress China's trade, technology not "de-risking," but creating risks: Xi

BEIJING, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday that the measures by the U.S. side to suppress China's trade and technology development are not "de-risking," but creating risks.

In his phone talks with U.S. President Joe Biden, Xi noted the U.S. side has adopted a string of measures to suppress China's trade and technology development, and is adding more and more Chinese entities to its sanctions lists.

This is not "de-risking," but creating risks, he said.

If the U.S. side, Xi said, is willing to seek mutually beneficial cooperation and share in China's development dividends, it will always find China's door open; but if it is adamant on containing China's hi-tech development and depriving China of its legitimate right to development, China is not going to sit back and watch.
