“China does not gamble on the United States to lose, interfere in its internal affairs, or interfere in the U.S. election, and is willing to be a partner and friend with the United States. If the United States continues to interfere in China's internal affairs and harm China's interests on issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, and the South China Sea, how can we maintain the bottom line of bilateral relations no matter how many 'guardrails' are set up?”

“U.S. should refrain from turning economic and trade issues into political or security issues and view the issue of production capacity from a market-oriented and global perspective. The development of China's clean energy sector, where overcapacity concerns are felt most acutely, will support the global energy transition.”

“While we have more to do, I believe that, over the past year, we have put our bilateral relationship on more stable footing. This has not meant ignoring our differences or avoiding tough conversations. It has meant understanding that we can only make progress if we directly and openly communicate with one another.”

“China is too large to export its way to rapid growth and would benefit by reducing excess industrial capacity which is pressuring other economies. Overcapacity isn't a new problem, but it has intensified, and we're seeing emerging risks in new sectors.”

“China is building a first-class business environment that is market oriented. In traditional areas like trade and new ones such as climate change and artificial intelligence, China and the United States should become boosters for each other's development, not obstructions on each other.”

“These trips have considerable significance for preventing any further escalation of hostilities, especially as election year rhetoric in the U.S. ramps up. I think both sides are very eager to tamp down any further escalation of hostilities.”

“There is a fine line between deterring China and provoking it. My take is that while we should do significantly more to help Taiwan boost defenses and deter aggression, we should do so quietly, without needlessly humiliating China. Sometimes Americans loudly embrace Taiwan in ways that inflame tensions at times when we should be hoping to lower them. Let me also make the case that we think too much in terms of an invasion - when the greater risk may be China's taking lesser nibbles to pressure Taiwan, leading to the possibility of accidents and escalation that could drag us into an unintended world war, as happened in 1914.”

“We've never shied away from calling it like we see it when it comes to [China's] behaviour, intimidation and coercion of not only their neighbours but countries around the world. This is a difficult, complex bilateral relationship, the most consequential one in the world. The president understands that. But that doesn't mean there isn't still a need to continue to improve our lines of communication.”

“The US and China have significant disagreements. But President [Joe] Biden and I do not see the relationship between the US and China through the frame of great power conflict. We believe that the world is big enough for both of our countries to thrive. No one visit will solve our challenges overnight. But I expect that this trip will help build a resilient and productive channel of communication.”

“Washington and its allies have sought to suppress China's tech sector with no regard for the potential damage the technological iron curtain may cause to global supply and industrial chains. But now the question is how long Washington can ignore the warning over the consequences when China starts taking legitimate and reasonable measures to safeguard its national security and interests. Compared with the US pressuring allies to cooperate on chip bans against China, China's move this time may be more of a warning, showing that China will not be passively squeezed out of the global semiconductor supply chain.”

“With respect to the comments, I think President Biden and I both believe it's critical to maintain communication … to clear up misperceptions, miscalculations. We need to work together where possible. But we have disagreements, and we are also forthright in recognising we do have disagreements.”

“It seems to me that Beijing has instructed its forces to respond more assertively against what it believes are encroaching U.S. and allied forces. By doing so, China is only increasing the chances for miscalculation - namely ships or aircraft accidentally colliding - that could then spiral into armed conflict.”

“I am deeply concerned that the PRC [People's Republic of China] has been unwilling to engage more seriously on better mechanisms for crisis management between our two militaries. The more that we talk, the more that we can avoid the misunderstandings and miscalculations that could lead to crisis or conflict.”

“The United States' long-term and frequent sending of ships and planes to conduct close surveillance on China seriously harms China's national sovereignty and security. This kind of provocative, dangerous activity is the cause of the security issues on the seas. China will continue to take all necessary steps to resolutely protect its own sovereignty and security.”

“This transit [of Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen] is consistent with our longstanding unofficial relationship with Taiwan and it is consistent with the United States's 'One China' policy, which remains unchanged. There is no reason - none - for the Chinese to overreact here. The People's Republic of China should not use this transit as a pretext to step up any activity around the Taiwan strait.”

“The balloon was 60m (200 ft) tall with a jetliner size payload. The PRC's irresponsible actions were visible for the American people and all of the world to see. Ultimately, we were able to collect intelligence from the balloon; we are recovering its contents; and we sent a clear message to the PRC that activities such as this [are] unacceptable.”
