WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — China and the United States, as the world's major producers and consumers of agricultural products, have their own advantages in agriculture that can fully complement each other, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng said recently.

"China and the United States together account for nearly 40 percent of global food production and a quarter of global consumption. China has a comparative advantage in the production of labor-intensive agricultural products, while the United States specializes in land-intensive agricultural products thanks to mechanized large-scale production," Xie Feng said at the China-US Partnership Breakfast and Reception on Soybean Industry Cooperation in Washington.

“Agricultural exchanges and cooperation have not only provided greater choice to consumers in both countries, but also filled the pockets of American farmers,” the diplomat emphasized.

"They have given impetus to the transformation and modernization of agriculture in China and the United States and opened a new path for ensuring global food security," Xie Feng added.

The Chinese ambassador said agriculture should not be politicized and “farmers should not pay the price for the trade war.”

“China is ready to work with the American side to implement the important agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries, effectively use the mechanism of Chinese-American trade and economic consultations, strengthen consensus, eliminate misunderstandings and strengthen cooperation in order to jointly enjoy the dividends of development and return to the right path of mutual benefit,” the Chinese ambassador concluded. –0–
