Under terms of the interview, the government asked for questions in advance. Jiang supplied written answers and then spoke for about one hour. This is a transcript of the written questions and answers. Some people outside China think that China and the United States will inevitably come into conflict with each other. This, in my view, is groundless.
China is the largest developing country and the United States the largest developed country.
Both are permanent members of the UN Security Council. With the accelerating of economic globalization, countries compete with one another in terms of the economy, science and technology, trade and human resources. This is a feature of world development. There is competition between China and the United States as well, which is nothing strange. Nevertheless, we also cooperate with each other in many important fields.
