China News Service, Bali, Indonesia, November 14 (Reporter Guo Jinchao) On the afternoon of November 14, local time, President Xi Jinping held a meeting with US President Joe Biden in Bali, Indonesia.
Xi Jinping pointed out that China and the United States have gone through ups and downs for more than 50 years from the contact and establishment of diplomatic relations to today.
History is the best textbook.
We should take history as a mirror and face the future.
The current situation facing China-US relations is not in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples, nor is it in line with the expectations of the international community.
As leaders of the two major powers, China and the United States, we should play the role of steering the direction, find the correct development direction for the relationship between the two countries, and promote the upward improvement of China-US relationship.
Politicians must think about and clarify the direction of their own development, as well as how to get along with other countries and the world.
Xi Jinping stressed that at present, the changes of the times are unfolding in an unprecedented way, human society is facing unprecedented challenges, and the world is at a crossroads.
Where to go, we care, and all countries in the world care.
The international community generally expects China and the US to handle their relations well.
Our meeting today has attracted worldwide attention.
We should work with other countries to increase hope for world peace, increase confidence in global stability, and add impetus to common development.
I would like to have a candid and in-depth exchange of views with Mr. President on strategic issues in China-US relations and major global and regional issues as always.
I also look forward to working with Mr. President to bring China-US relations back to the track of healthy and stable development, benefiting both countries and the world.
