WASHINGTON -- Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai said here recently that despite misjudgment from some in the United States, China will remain confident in its path of development and those hoping otherwise should face the reality.

"Recently, there have occurred some developments in China-U.S. relations that are a matter of concern, which reflects deficiency of someone in the United States in their understanding of China, and also their misjudgment of strategies adopted by China. For example, someone feel depressed because of China's adherence to its own path of development," Cui told a gathering at the Chinese Embassy to mark the Lunar Chinese New Year's Day, which falls on Feb. 16.
