Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday that current tensions in Sino-US relations were entirely caused by the United States. However, Beijing still hopes to achieve win-win cooperation with mutual respect with the US, Reuters quoted Wang as saying.

The top diplomat made the statement as he held a video conversation with his German counterpart.

Beijing ordered Washington to close its consulate in the city of Chengdu on Friday, responding to a US demand this week that China close its consulate in Houston.
