Xi pitches for win-win China-US ties ahead of key US polls.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of a cooperative China-US partnership in a letter to a US committee, just weeks before crucial American elections.
Terming China-US relations as among the most important bilateral ties globally, Xi said mutually beneficial cooperation serves both countries’ development instead of becoming obstacles to each other.
As per Chinese state media reports, the President highlighted principles of mutual respect, peaceful co-existence, and win-win cooperation that China adheres to in dealing with the US.
Xi noted the success of either side presents opportunities rather than challenges, and their ties impact global destiny.
His remarks underscore potential in the relationship as voting looms on November 5 to chart Washington’s foreign policy course, including vis-a-vis Beijing.
A Recent Reuters report indicates issues like electric vehicles and semiconductors have soured ties amid restrictions, underscoring delicate balance.
By projecting an optimistic tone, analysts say Xi aims to guide the relationship in a positive direction, whatever political changes may happen across the Pacific.
