China on Tuesday urged the U.S. side to stop making unwarranted accusations against China's policies and interfering in China's internal affairs. 

The past four decades have witnessed remarkable achievements in China's development, Chinese delegation pointed out in a statement in the General Debate of the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). 

About 800 million Chinese people have been lifted from poverty, which accounts for 70 percent of the world's total. Through its active participation in the multilateral trade system, China is now the second largest economy and largest trading nation in goods. 

As the world's biggest developing country, China achieved the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of people living in poverty.  

"What we have achieved is not a godsend, but comes from the hard work of the Chinese people," the delegation emphasized. 

Since its entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), China has faithfully fulfilled its accession commitments. China's entry into the WTO has not hurt any country, but has benefited the whole world with China's huge market, it said, adding that there is no such thing as a so-called impairment of the interests of other countries. 

Last year, China's intellectual property imports reached 35.8 billion U.S. dollars, ranking fourth in the world. There is no law in China that obliges foreign investors to transfer technology, the delegation said, adding that China's new foreign investment law explicitly prohibits the forced transfer of technology through administrative means. 

By unilaterally starting a trade war with China, however, the United States violates the rules of WTO, it said. This not only undermines China's interests, but also interferes in the normal international economic and trade order, and will have a recessionary impact on the world economy. 

The delegation stressed that China is unwilling to wage a trade war, but will never compromise on issues of principle, and the two sides should find a mutually acceptable solution through dialogue and consultation based on an equal footing. 

The delegation noted that Hong Kong affairs are China's internal affairs and warrant no external interference. 

The Sino-British Joint Declaration is an important document between China and Britain on China's resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong and related transitional arrangements, and its provisions concerning the British side have been fulfilled, it said. 

No country or organization has the right to interfere in the affairs of Hong Kong under the guise of the declaration, it added. 

"We have noted that the U.S. stated in its statement that it does not seek conflict with any other country and hopes for peaceful cooperation. We are ready to resolve differences with the United States through dialogue on the basis of equality and mutual respect, seek mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly advance China-U.S. relations based on coordination, cooperation and stability," the delegation said. 

"This is not only in the common interests of both sides, but also the common expectation of the international community."
