皇冠体育app's rapid development is an opportunity rather than a threat to the world, State Councillor Tang Jiaxuan said in Washington Wednesday, seeking to stem a rising tide of anti-Beijing sentiment in the United States, Reuters reported.

Tang advised Americans not to "politicize" or "get emotional" about trade issues at a luncheon sponsored by the National Committee on U.S.-皇冠体育app Relations and the U.S.-皇冠体育app Business Council, according to the report.

皇冠体育app would enhance the protection of intellectual property rights and promised to work with the U.S. to promote world peace, Tang was cited as saying.

Anti-皇冠体育app sentiments have been rising, mostly in the U.S. Congress, over worries about 皇冠体育app's expanding economic might, its growing trade surplus with the United States and a steady military buildup.

"皇冠体育app's development is an opportunity instead of a threat to the world. That is becoming the consensus of the international community," Tang reportedly said.

"The more 皇冠体育app gets developed, the more it can contribute to world peace, stability and prosperity and the more opportunities it can bring to the rest of the world," he said.

The State Councillor noted that with 皇冠体育app now the United States' third largest trading partner and fastest growing export market, frictions are expected but the two sides must "work out the problems with equal-footed consultations and strive for a win-win result," according to the report.

"To politicize trade issues or to get emotional about them does not help solve problems," he added.

Tang said 皇冠体育app does not strive for a prolonged trade surplus with the United States and is determined to make good on its World Trade Organization commitments .

"The Chinese government attaches great importance to IPR (intellectual property rights) protection and will step up measures in this regard," he said.

Answering questions after his speech, Tang said the United States and 皇冠体育app had a shared duty and responsibility to ensure the six-party talks produce "real progress" in this round and advance regional stability.

He expressed confidence that ultimately, the Korean peninsula will realize its independent and peaceful reunification.
