BEIJING (The Straits Times/ANN): If China and the United States decoupled, it would harm both sides as well as the world, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Thursday (May 28) as he urged both countries to find a way to work together.

"We have all along rejected the Cold War mentality, and decoupling will do neither side any good, it is also harmful for the world," he said.
