Sino-U.S. Ties Are Sound, Murdoch Says, but America Must Adjust

(Beijing) – There are no serious problems in the Sino-U.S. relationship, but the United States should adjust itself to a rising China, News Corp. executive chairman Rupert Murdoch recently said during an exclusive interview with Caixin.

Murdoch gave the interview shortly after meeting President Xi Jinping, who just made his first state visit to the U.S. Both China and the United States have had disputes on issues ranging from cybersecurity to the South China Sea. However, Murdoch said neither country wants a war and that concerns over cybersecurity in the West are exaggerated. He added that individual and corporate behavior should be distinguished from that of governments.
