China's Xi Jinping Ready to Work with Trump as Biden Ends His Presidency
China's Xi Jinping has expressed his readiness to work with President-elect Donald Trump, following his last meeting with current US President Joe Biden at the APEC forum in Peru. Biden emphasized the importance of maintaining a relationship of competition, not conflict, between the two nations, while Xi highlighted the principles of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. Xi's statement comes despite Trump's proposed 60% tariffs on US imports of Chinese goods and the appointment of China hawks to his transition team. The leaders did not address the tariff issue, but Biden has previously stated that their conversations have always been candid and frank, preventing miscalculations and avoiding conflict.
