Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi speaks at a reception marking the 45th anniversary of the establishment of China-US diplomatic relations in Beijing on January 5.

According to Mr. Vuong, although both countries are built on different foundations, differences should not lead to confrontation and sanctions should not be used at all times to exercise power or hegemony.

"We must resolutely coexist peacefully and the most important thing is to effectively resolve differences," Wang said, according to Reuters.
