Chinese President Xi Jinping called on the US to normalize bilateral relations and avoid a trade war.
„Tariff, trade and science and technology wars contradict historical trends and economic models; there will be no winners in them”, the President of the People's Republic of China said at a meeting with representatives of a number of international economic organizations, which was broadcast by China Central Television.
Xi Jinping expressed hope that the US will cooperate with China to steer bilateral relations to “stable, healthy and sustainable development”. He added that Beijing, for its part, is ready to maintain dialogue with Washington, expand cooperation and “keep differences under control”.
