Editorial: China and U.S. Can Prevent a New Cold War

The meeting between President Xi Jinping and U.S. counterpart Joe Biden in Bali, Indonesia, was one that garnered worldwide attention. Based on statements released from the Chinese side, the meeting in Bali “achieved the intended purpose of having in-depth communication, clarifying intentions, making clear where the red lines are, preventing conflicts, setting the direction and exploring cooperation.” It demonstrates that communication has always been one of the solutions to China-U.S. bilateral disputes, conflicts and confrontations, no matter how serious they are. Cooperation is the best choice for China-U.S. relations, and the two countries see no need for a new Cold War.
