BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) -- China and the United States reached consensus on developing ties in the spirit of no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation during U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's Beijing trip, said a Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wednesday.
"This spirit is the correct way for the two major powers to get along with each other," spokesperson Hua Chunying told a routine press briefing.
She was responding to a question regarding Tillerson's reaffirmation of the principle. Tillerson's move has received criticism from some U.S. scholars and former government officials.
Some media said that having Tillerson reiterate this principle was a diplomatic triumph for China.
