UPDATE 1-China says has no intention to play 'Game of Thrones' but won't be threatened on trade

China's top diplomat hit back at U.S. criticism on Tuesday, saying Beijing had no intention to "play the Game of Thrones on the world stage" and would respect U.S. interests, but it would not be threatened on trade or allow interference in its affairs, including Hong Kong. In an address on the sidelines of the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York, Wang Yi, China's foreign minister and state councilor, urged a move away from confrontation between the two biggest global economies, saying they should cooperate for mutual benefit and for that of rest of the world. Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump had a stern message for China and its president, Xi Jinping, in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
