UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday sent warning about the decoupling of the U.S. and China as he addressed the Davos meeting.

Despite the U.S.-China relations inevitably diverging on many aspects, Guterres stressed that it's essential for the two countries "to have meaningful engagement on climate, trade and technology to avoid the decoupling of economies or even the possibility of future confrontation."

"A tectonic rift that would create two different sets of trade rules, two dominant currencies, two internets and two conflicting strategies on artificial intelligence. This is the last thing we need," he said.
