"The United States must listen carefully to rational voices and abandon the zero-sum mentality," Zhao said, expressing his country's willingness to work with the United States to implement the important consensus reached at the Bali meeting between the two heads of state and push China-US relations onto the track of healthy and stable development. .

On the visit of US Vice President Kamala Harris to the Philippines, Zhao explained that exchanges and cooperation between countries should help enhance mutual understanding and trust between countries in the region, help maintain regional peace and stability and not target or harm the interests of other countries, indicating that Beijing does not oppose normal exchanges. between the United States and the Philippines but such exchanges should not harm the interests of other countries.
