Xi and Schumer Delegation Call for Easing U.S.-China Tensions

What’s new: In a meeting Monday in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping and a bipartisan U.S. Senate delegation called for easing tensions and stabilizing U.S.-China relations, state broadcaster CCTV reported.

Xi said that the China-U.S. relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world, and how the two countries get along will determine the future of humanity. Competition and confrontation are not consistent with the trend of the times and can’t fix each country’s problems or address the challenges facing the world, the Chinese leader said.
