BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Arrangements made between China and Canada to properly address their economic and trade issues are not directed at any third party, and are beneficial to world peace and prosperity, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said here Monday.

Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a news briefing after U.S. President Donald Trump recently threatened to place a 100-percent tariff on goods from Canada in response to its burgeoning trade partnership with China.

Guo said China holds that all countries should handle relations with each other in a win-win rather than zero-sum manner, and in a cooperative rather than confrontational way.

China and Canada have built a new strategic partnership and made some specific arrangements for properly addressing economic and trade issues between the two countries, which reflects the spirit of equality, openness, inclusiveness, peaceful cooperation and shared benefits.

It is not targeted at any third party and is in line with the common interests of the two peoples, and also benefits world peace, stability, development and prosperity, he noted. ■
