/ world today news/ Today, Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Beijing with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Xi Jinping stated that the world is constantly developing and the era is changing.
“The world needs a stable relationship between China and the US, and therefore this issue affects the future destiny of humanity. On the vast planet Earth, both countries can realize common development. Chinese are the same as Americans and have a right to aspire to a happier life. We must pay attention to the common interests of both sides. The success of one country is not a threat but an opportunity for another. The international community is also concerned about the development of Sino-US relations. Everyone hopes that there will be no confrontations and expects peaceful coexistence and friendly cooperation between the two countries. Therefore, we must carefully handle the issue of the development of bilateral relations and make greater contributions to the peace and development of the world,” the Chinese leader said during the meeting.
He also pointed out that competition between major economies did not meet the trend of the age and also could not solve the US’s own problems and the world’s challenges. China respects the interests of the United States and will not provoke them or take their place. The US should also respect China and not violate its legal rights. No country can change another according to its own views and slow down its development. China has always hoped for a stable relationship with the US and is confident that the two countries can overcome obstacles and find the right way to achieve mutual benefits through cooperation. Xi Jinping called on Washington to maintain a pragmatic attitude and work with the Chinese side to jointly realize the important consensuses between the leaders of the two countries and stabilize bilateral relations.
Anthony Blinken conveyed the greetings of President Joe Biden. He expressed President Biden’s confidence that the United States and China have the responsibility and obligation to manage bilateral relations well. “This is in the interest of the US, China and the world. The U.S. is committed to returning to the affirmed order established by the two heads of state in Bali,” Blinken said, reaffirming the U.S. president’s commitment that the U.S. is not seeking a “new cold war,” has no intention of changing China’s system, nor to oppose it by strengthening ties with allies, and not to support “Taiwan independence”. The US has no intention of provoking conflicts with China, but expects high-level exchanges, maintaining unhindered communication, is willing to manage and control differences in a responsible manner, and strive for dialogue, exchange and cooperation.
Xi Jinping asked Blinken to convey his greetings to Biden.
Wang Yi and Qing Geng also participated in the meeting.
