China's policy on the United States has remained consistent, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ming at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

Mao made the remarks in response to a media query about U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's claim that China is an "unreliable partner," while just a few days earlier U.S. President Donald Trump said his meeting with President Xi Jinping was "amazing."

"China's policy on the United States has remained consistent. We always view and handle China-U.S. relationship following the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. Meanwhile, we also firmly safeguard our sovereignty, security and development interests. Keeping China-U.S. relations to develop in a healthy and steady way complies with the fundamental interests of the two peoples and is also the universal expectation of the international community," said Mao.
