Xi stressed that he and President Biden share the view that China and the U.S. need to respect each other, coexist in peace and avoid confrontation, and that the two sides should increase communication and dialogue at all levels and in all fields.

President Biden has just reiterated that the U.S. does not seek to have a new Cold War with China, to change China‘s system, or to revitalize alliances against China, and that the U.S. does not support „Taiwan independence“ or intend to seek a conflict with China, Xi said. „I take these remarks very seriously.“
