Xi urges US to work with China
China DailyPresident Xi Jinping meets with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Aug 29, 2024. President Xi Jinping has urged Washington to "view China and its development in a positive and rational light" and "work with China to find a right way for two major countries to get along". While great changes have taken place in the two countries and in China-US relations, China's commitment to the goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship remains unchanged, and the principle of handling the relationship based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation remains unchanged, he said. What also remains unchanged are China's position of firmly safeguarding the country's sovereignty, security and development interests and its efforts to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American people, Xi added. Xi expressed the hope that the US side will work in the same direction with China, view China and its development in a positive and rational light, see each other's development as an opportunity rather than a challenge, and work with China to find a right way for two major countries to get along.
