BEIJING, July 18 (Xinhua) — Any attempt to forcefully "decouple" China and the United States in trade and economic terms will inevitably fail, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference in Beijing, Wang Wentao noted that over the past years, trade and economic ties between China and the United States have experienced ups and downs, but the two countries have always remained important partners for each other. And despite the decline in the share of Sino-American trade in the external trade turnover of both countries, bilateral trade has generally remained stable, the minister said. -0-

MEXICO CITY, July 18 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday criticized the U.S. decision not to open its border to Mexican cattle due to an outbreak of a parasitic disease caused by blowfly larvae, saying the measure lacks clear scientific basis and may be politically motivated.

The parasite was found in southern Mexico, more than 1,000 km from the northern cattle-raising states affected by the US restrictions, Sheinbaum said at a daily press conference, calling on Washington to clarify the health criteria justifying maintaining the ban.

"It seems to be more about politics. In some cases, it could be interpreted as a political attack on Mexico, but let's not forget that there are elections in the United States in a year," she said.

The president also criticized a number of American politicians for treating Mexico like a "piñata" during election campaigns and warned against exploiting bilateral issues for domestic political purposes.

K. Sheinbaum said that Mexican Agriculture Minister Julio Berdegué is in talks with his American counterpart Brooke Rollins to prevent further restrictions on cattle exports.

The president said the United States had agreed to invest $30 million to breed sterile flies, a key biological tool in the fight against the parasite, in Mexico. The facility is expected to be completed in less than a year. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, July 18 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang on Thursday condemned Israeli military strikes in Syria at an emergency meeting of the Security Council and demanded their immediate end.

While the situation in southern Syria remains volatile, Israel has recently carried out multiple airstrikes in As-Suwayda, Daraa and Damascus. China unequivocally condemns Israel's actions, which seriously violate international law, infringe on Syria's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and pose new challenges to peace, stability and political transition in Syria, the diplomat said.

“We call on Israel to immediately stop military strikes on Syria and withdraw from Syrian territory as soon as possible,” he said.

The international community recognizes the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian territory. The sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Syria must be respected. The relevant Security Council resolutions must be implemented, and the 1974 disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria must be observed, the deputy permanent representative emphasized.

According to Geng Shuang, the ethnic tensions and subsequent violence in As-Suwayda have once again shown that the current situation in Syria remains complex and fragile. Achieving peace and stability still faces enormous challenges.

It is imperative to stabilize the security situation and restore public order as soon as possible. China has noted the reports that the Syrian interim authorities have reached a ceasefire agreement with the parties concerned. China calls on all parties to abide by the ceasefire agreement, remain calm and exercise restraint, stop hostilities, and promote early de-escalation of the situation, the diplomat said.

The Syrian interim authorities should continue to advance the participatory political process, address the concerns of all parties through inclusive dialogue, and effectively promote internal unity and reconciliation, Geng said.

The fight against terrorism is an important aspect of restoring peace and stability in Syria. The interim authorities of Syria must fulfill their anti-terrorist obligations and take effective measures to combat all terrorist groups included in the relevant list by the UN Security Council, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, he added.

At present, acute problems in the Middle East are emerging one after another, with new and old contradictions intertwined and overlapping. The situation is complex and unstable. Such a state of affairs does not serve the interests of any country in the Middle East or the international community, Geng Shuang said.

The Security Council, as the organ with the primary responsibility for international peace and security, should resolutely fulfill its responsibilities under the UN Charter and use all the tools at its disposal to end conflicts at an early date, restore peace and stability in relevant areas, and achieve lasting peace and stability in the entire region, the diplomat said, adding that China is willing to work with the international community to play a constructive role in this regard. -0-
