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.
Economic Bridge Building
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
He also spotlighted China's latest economic reforms, vowing to improve conditions for U.S. companies.
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.
