Xi Jinping to Biden: U.S. Suppression of Our Trade and Technology Won't Be Ignored

More reportage on the phone discussion between Presidents Biden and Xi in Global Times indicates that Xi underlined three “overarching principles” that should guide China-US relations in 2024: “First, peace must be valued. The two sides should put a floor of no conflict and no confrontation.... Second, stability must be prioritized. The two sides should refrain from setting the relationship back, provoking an incident or crossing the line.... Third, credibility must be upheld. The two sides should honor their commitments to each other with action, and turn the San Francisco vision into reality.” Xi used a Chinese saying to address the relationship, saying that the “strategic perception is always fundamental to the China-US relationship, just like the first button of a shirt that must be put right.”
