Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a hopeful message for U.S.-China relations this week, emphasizing 'dialogue over confrontation' in a letter to the 2024 U.S.-China Business Council gala. The call comes amid global anticipation for stabilized ties between the world's two largest economies.
Win-Win or No Game 🎯
Xi highlighted that cooperation benefits both nations, while confrontation creates 'zero-sum' losses. 'The success of one should be an opportunity, not a challenge, for the other,' he stated, framing economic ties as intertwined rather than competitive.

With over $700 billion in annual trade, Xi stressed the need to:
- Expand tech and green energy partnerships
- Resolve differences through equal negotiation
- Maintain open markets for foreign businesses
Biden’s Parallel Message 📨
U.S. President Joe Biden also sent congratulatory remarks, signaling potential alignment. While details weren’t disclosed, the dual letters suggest both leaders recognize the relationship’s global impact – from climate action to AI governance.
