In his congratulatory message, Xi Jinping expressed the hope that both sides will maintain the spirit of non-confrontation, mutual respect and mutually beneficial cooperation.
Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated Joe Biden on winning the US presidential election. As China’s state news agency Xinhua reported on Wednesday, Xi Jinping expressed hope in his congratulatory message that both sides will uphold the spirit of non-confrontation, mutual respect and mutually beneficial cooperation. We must focus on cooperation and promote the healthy and stable development of both states.
Also on Wednesday, Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan sent a message to Kamala Harris to congratulate her on being elected Vice President of the United States.
Left for a long time
As Chinese head of state, Xi Jinping had long been content with his congratulations. However, two weeks ago, the Chinese Foreign Ministry had already officially congratulated him. The Chinese media were cautiously optimistic about Biden in the immediate aftermath of Election Day.
There was hardly any chance of turning back the clock and reversing the separation of the two superpowers. However, at the very least, greater rationality between Biden could lead to a more rapid erosion of relationships or even an uncontrollable escalation that would become less likely.
The election result could offer “an opportunity to resume high-level communications,” according to the party-affiliated newspaper “Global Times.” This is an important step in rebuilding mutual trust.
