Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday pointed out that China-U.S. business relations are based on two-way and reciprocal interactions, and cooperation will bring about mutual benefits and win-win results.
One should not fantasize that it can suppress China and maintain good relations with China at the same time, Wang said, adding China will definitely take countermeasures in response to arbitrary pressure.

Responding to a question by CGTN's Tian Wei on China-U.S. competition in technology at a press conference on Friday, Wang pointed out that "high fences and small yards" cannot suppress the spirit of innovation, and decoupling and supply chain disruption will only lead to self-isolation.
Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, noted that generations of Chinese people have never stopped in their endeavor for innovation. "We are witnessing an ever-expanding horizon for China to become a science and technology powerhouse," he said.
"Where there is blockade, there is breakthrough; where there is suppression, there is innovation; where there is the fiercest storm, there is the platform launching China's science and technology skyward like the Chinese mythological hero Nezha soaring into the heavens," said Wang.
The Chinese foreign minister noted that science and technology should not be used to put up an iron curtain. "It should be the wealth that benefits all and is shared by all."
He also told reporters in attendance that "China is ready to share the fruits of our innovation with more countries and jointly explore the mysteries of the stars and oceans."
