News Story: China, U.S. should manage differences in constructive manner, says FM

BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- China on Friday responded to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's recent remarks by calling on the United States to jointly manage differences in a constructive manner and boost win-win cooperation with China.

Trump was quoted by media on Thursday as saying the United States needs to improve its relationship with China. He also criticized China's policies on trade and the economy as well as on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
