China’s President Xi Jinping broke his silence on U.S. President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory, sending him a message that he hopes to "manage differences” and focus on cooperation between the world’s two largest economies.
The congratulatory note, reported by the official Xinhua News Agency, said China wants to advance a "healthy and stable” relationship and uphold the principles of "no conflict” and "no confrontation.”
Biden appreciates the congratulations he’s receiving from world leaders, including Xi, a spokesman for the president-elect’s transition office said.
