Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden had a much-anticipated meetup in Lima on November 16. Amid global turbulence and challenges, the two leaders discussed how China and the U.S. can find the right path to get along and collaborate.
🤝 Xi expressed his pleasure at meeting Biden again, noting that China-U.S. relations have seen ups and downs over the past four years. However, thanks to fruitful dialogue and cooperation, their relationship has remained generally stable.
Xi emphasized that when the two nations treat each other as partners and friends and seek common ground while setting aside differences, they can make significant progress. But if they view each other as rivals or adversaries, pursuing vicious competition, it could harm or even set back their relationship.
In a world facing unprecedented challenges and frequent conflicts, Xi highlighted that \"major-country competition should not be the underlying logic of the times.\" Instead, he stressed that only solidarity and cooperation can help humanity overcome current difficulties. 🌍
Xi pointed out that in this era of rapid technological revolution and industrial transformation, \"neither decoupling nor supply-chain disruption is the solution; only mutually beneficial cooperation can lead to common development.\"
He noted that as two major countries, China and the United States should keep in mind the interests of the whole world and inject more certainty and positive energy into a turbulent world.
Xi underlined his consistent belief that a stable China-U.S. relationship is crucial not only for the peoples of both nations but also for the future of humanity. He urged both sides to make wise choices, continue exploring the right way for the two major countries to coexist peacefully, and achieve long-term peace on the planet. ✨
Referring to the recent U.S. election, Xi reiterated China's commitment to a stable, healthy, and sustainable relationship with the U.S. He emphasized mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation as guiding principles.
Xi also conveyed that China's position on safeguarding its sovereignty, security, and development interests remains unchanged, as does its desire to foster traditional friendship between the Chinese and American peoples.
China is ready to work with the U.S. government to maintain dialogue, expand cooperation, and manage differences, Xi said, aiming for a steady transition of the China-U.S. relationship for the benefit of both peoples. 🌟
The meeting between Xi and Biden in Lima highlights the importance of collaboration over competition in tackling global challenges, offering hope for a more stable and cooperative future between China and the U.S.
