As the most significant bilateral relationship in the world, China-US relations should be perceived and envisioned in the broad context of accelerating global transformations unseen in a century, said Chinese President Xi Jinping when meeting with US President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Competition among major countries is not the prevailing trend of the current times and does not solve the problems faced by China, the US, and the world. Planet Earth is big enough for China and the US to succeed. One country's success is an opportunity for the other, said Xi.

For over 50 years, the relationship between China and the US has never been smooth sailing; there have always been various problems, yet it has kept moving forward with twists and turns. For two large countries like China and the US, turning their back on each other is not an option. It is unrealistic for one side to remodel the other, and conflict and confrontation have unbearable consequences for both sides, Xi told Biden.

It is an objective fact that China and the US are different in history, culture, social system and development path. However, as long as the two countries respect each other, coexist in peace and pursue win-win cooperation, they will be fully capable of rising above differences and find the right way for the two major countries to get along with each other. I firmly believe in the promising future of China-US bilateral relationship, said Xi.
