U.S. and China must 'get along', Xi tells Trump

The Hindu  

Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday that Beijing and Washington must find a way to "get along" in a message to US president-elect Donald Trump, state media reported. In his first message to Trump since the former president secured a second term, Xi said "history has shown that China and the United States benefit from cooperation and suffer from confrontation", state broadcaster CCTV said. Xi and Trump have previously met four times, and the former president has touted his "very strong relationship" with the Chinese leader. "We expect the Chinese government to respond with limited retaliation and more domestic policy support to the economy, to partially offset the negative impact," Tao Wang, Chief China Economist at UBS Investment Research, told AFP.
