Competition between China, US can’t solve problems facing world — Xinhua
"It is unrealistic for one side to remodel the other, and conflict and confrontation have unbearable consequences for both sides," it said
BEIJING, November 16. /TASS/. Competition between China and the US can’t resolve the challenges facing these countries and the world, Xinhua said in an editorial following a recent meeting between the leaders of the countries in San Francisco.
"Major-country competition is not the prevailing trend of current times and cannot solve the problems facing China and the United States, or the world at large," the editorial said.
"It is unrealistic for one side to remodel the other, and conflict and confrontation have unbearable consequences for both sides," Xinhua said. "Planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed, and one country's success is an opportunity for the other."
US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a meeting in the suburbs of San Francisco recently. It was the seventh time the two leaders had spoken since Biden took office as president, but only the second time they met face-to-face. It was also Xi Jinping's first visit to the United States in past six years. The previous face-to-face meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Indonesian in November 2022.
