Chinese premier Xi Jinping claims there is never a 'clash' of civilisation between the United States and China in the heated up US-China trade war.
BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping declared Wednesday there was “no clash” of civilisations and denounced racial supremacy as “stupid” amid tensions with the United States and concerns over Beijing’s rising global power.
“Thinking that one’s own race and culture are superior, and insisting on transforming or even replacing other civilisations is stupid in its understanding and disastrous in practice,” Xi said at the opening ceremony of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilisations in Beijing. On Monday, China retaliated with an announcement that it would raise tariffs on US$60 billion worth of US goods from June 1.
