BEIJING (Reuters) -There are no winners in tariff or trade wars, nor in wars over science and technology or industry, said China's top envoy to the United States, as Donald Trump's presidential election win raised the spectre of another bruising confrontation with China. Xie Feng, China's ambassador to the United States, said differences between the two nations should be the driving force for exchanges and mutual learning rather than "an excuse for rejection and confrontation", and that the successes of each were opportunities for the other. Speaking at a dinner hosted by the U.S.-China Business Council in Shanghai on Thursday, Xie did not directly address the U.S. election or Trump, who previously heaped tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese goods before agreeing to a truce in January 2020.
