"We hope the U.S. will respect China's social system and the Chinese people's choice and give up its interventionism which is doomed to fail," Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday in an interview with Xinhua News Agency.

"China is not interested in rivalry of systems or ideological confrontation with any country," added Wang.

In response to motives of some U.S. forces for pitting the Communist Party of China (CPC) against the Chinese people, Wang noted that "their purpose is notably obvious, that is to contain and destabilize China."

According to Wang, there have "always been forces in the United States attempting to rebut the leadership role of the CPC and China's path of socialism with Chinese characteristics."

"The great endeavor of the Chinese people under the CPC leadership has been recorded in the history of modernization as an outstanding, epoch-making chapter," said Wang, stressing that the Chinese people know better than anyone else if the China's system works for the country.

Noting that the relationship between the CPC and the Chinese people is "as close as between 'fish and water' and between 'soil and seed,'" Wang said those who attempt to break this strong bond is making themselves enemies of the 1.4 billion Chinese people.

"China has great confidence in its path of socialism with Chinese characteristics," said Wang, adding that "no country or individual can hold back the historic march toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
