Lima. The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, told his American counterpart, Joe Biden, yesterday that China and the United States must continue exploring ways of coexistence between two great countries
. Xi stated that his country is ready to work with the next US government in order to maintain communication, expand cooperation and manage differences
. Both leaders met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum in Lima, Peru.
Our goal of achieving a stable, healthy and sustainable relationship with Washington remains the same
Xi said, after pointing out his concern that the protectionist rhetoric exhibited by the incoming president during the election campaign could take the binational relationship to another place.
When two nations treat each other as partners and friends, seek common ground regardless of differences, and help each other succeed, then their relationship will progress. But if they consider themselves rivals or adversaries, engage in fierce competition and try to hurt each other, they will cloud the relationship or even set it back.
added the Asian leader.
The Chinese president questioned Washington’s containment policies towards Beijing, describing them as reckless, unacceptable and destined to fail
; Furthermore, he criticized the excessive application of the concept of national security
by the White House.
Regarding the delicate balance on the Korean Peninsula, Xi assured that Beijing will not allow conflicts or turmoil in the region, reaffirming his government’s commitment to stability, and urged the United States to maintain consistency between its words and its actions, in a clear called to reduce tensions.
Red lines in Taiwan
Xi made it clear, in his dialogue with Biden, that the situation in Taiwan – which he considers a matter of internal politics – democracy and human rights, its system and China’s right to development are four red lines that cannot be challenged
. The Asian leader, who arrived in Lima on Thursday, plans a week-long diplomatic campaign in Latin America, including a renewed free trade agreement with Peru, the inauguration of the huge deep-water port in Chancay and a state visit to Brazil next week. China also announced plans to host the APEC summit in 2026.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden spoke in broader terms about where the relationship between the two nations has gone, and reflected on their long history. Over the past four years, the relationship between China and the United States has experienced ups and downs, but with the two of us at the helm, we have also engaged in dialogue and established fruitful cooperation. Overall, we have achieved stability
he stated.
Limit to AI in the nuclear field
Both leaders agreed that neither of their countries will hand over control of nuclear weapons to artificial intelligence programs, as White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters after the meeting that took place at the hotel where Xi stayed, Bloomberg reported.
Earlier, Sullivan said the Biden administration will inform Trump’s team that the most important foreign policy challenge is managing the intense competition with Beijing. There is uncertainty about what the future holds in the relationship between the United States and China under the Trump administration, who in his campaign promised to impose 60 percent tariffs on imports from that nation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) this week offered new details of a federal investigation into the Chinese government’s attempts to stealthily invade US telecommunications networks. Findings revealed cyberespionage campaign broad and significant
aimed at stealing information from Americans working in the government and people active in national politics, accusations that China denied. The FBI added its concern about Beijing’s growing pressure on Taiwan and Chinese support for Russia.
For his part, the president of Taiwan, Lai Ching-te, plans a stopover in Hawaii, in a visit that will surely anger Beijing, at a time when Biden met with the Taiwanese representative at the summit, the former Minister of Economy , Lin Hsin-i, who invited him to visit Taiwan.

What are some specific areas where the US and China can cooperate to address global challenges, as suggested by Dr. Grace Shi in her comments on President Xi’s message?
Guest 1: Dr. Grace Shi, Associate Professor at Zhejiang University of China
Guest 2: Dr. Michael Jones, Associate Professor at Harvard University, USA
Website Editor: Good day, Dr. Shi and Dr. Jones. Thank you for joining us today for this interview about the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum in Lima, Peru. Let’s begin with you, Dr. Shi. China has been pushing for a cooperation approach with the US, particularly during the recent meeting, as opposed to confrontation. Can you elaborate on the message President Xi conveyed to President Biden and the importance of cooperation between the two countries?
Dr. Grace Shi: President Xi’s message to President Biden emphasized the need for both countries to maintain open communication and expand cooperation while managing their differences. He stressed that it is crucial for China and the US to respect each other’s interests and pursue their development in a mutually beneficial manner. The Chinese president believes that cooperation is the only viable option to address global challenges such as climate change, trade imbalances, and the COVID-19 pandemic. A cooperation-oriented approach would not only benefit both countries but also contribute to international stability and peace. This message is in line with China’s long-standing policy of promoting multilateralism, openness, and engagement with the world. China’s commitment to a stable, healthy, and sustainable relationship with the US remains unchanged, and it is prepared to work with the new administration to ensure that this relationship progresses in a positive direction.
Website Editor: Dr. Jones, what are your thoughts on the message conveyed by President Xi? Do you think the US should shift its approach towards China from confrontation to cooperation?
Dr. Michael Jones: Yes, I do believe that the US should engage in constructive dialogue and cooperation with China while also maintaining its strategic interests. The relationship between the two countries is too important to be handled through confrontation or rivalry. However, it’s not realistic to believe that the US will completely abandon its concerns about human rights, democracy, and trade
