China is willing to work with Russia to promote pragmatic cooperation between the two countries in various fields and take it to a "new level".
This was stated by Chinese premier Li Qiang as he met Russian prime minister Mikhail Mishustin on a visit to Beijing.
"The pragmatic cooperation between China and Russia has shown a good development trend, and the scale of investment between the two countries is also continuously improving," Li added.
Mishustin also met with President Xi Jinping . "Relations between Beijing and Moscow are developing at a high level, Xi underlined, and cooperation in various sectors is strengthening between our countries."
On the other hand, the state of relations between Beijing and the United States is of the opposite tenor. Xie Feng, the new Chinese ambassador who has just taken office in Washington , spoke of relations between the People's Republic and the United States, according to whom "relations between China and the United States are facing serious difficulties and challenges ", but Beijing's hope "is that the America can work together to increase dialogue, manage differences, and also to expand our cooperation."
