With noticeable disappointment and discontentment toward U.S. policy, China’s ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, said during an event in Washington, D.C., that the “recent trend indicates that Americans have a lack of cognizance about China and some misguided strategic judgements.”

More specifically, Cui believed that “some people seemed frustrated about the path on which China insists on walking.”
