In his telegram, Xi Jinping writes that both sides must “adhere to the spirit of non-conflict and non-confrontation, mutual respect (and) mutually beneficial cooperation” in pursuit of common “noble goals”: peace and economic development throughout the world.
Xi Jinping was one of the few world leaders who had yet to congratulate Biden on his election victory. Russian President Vladimir Putin is still on this list.
The decision of current US President Donald Trump to begin the transfer of power is not yet enough for Russian President Putin to formally congratulate Joe Biden on his electoral victory. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters this on Tuesday.
“That’s not enough,” Putin’s spokesman said, asking if he gave an excuse to congratulate Biden on Trump’s recommendation to Emily Murphy, director of the United States General Services Administration (GSA), to “do what necessary “and initiate procedures for the delegation of powers.
Peskov recalled that “in some states, complaints are still being considered and votes are being recalculated, so there are still no official results of the elections.” The representative of the Russian president emphasized that congratulations from Moscow will be received only after the completion of all procedures.
Trump allowed the U.S. government to provide assistance to Biden’s team shortly after the state of Michigan approved the election results in favor of Biden.
November 3, the United States presidential election took place. Biden obtained more than 270 electoral votes for the victory.
Yet second-year Republican D. Trump insists on widespread voter fraud and refuses to acknowledge defeat. His campaign has filed lawsuits in several states.
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger warned that the new Joe Biden administration should restore as soon as possible the channels of communication with China, which has been severely broken during the reign of Donald Trump, otherwise the crisis could become in a military conflict.
“Without a basis for cooperation, the world will sink into a catastrophe comparable to World War I,” Kissinger said at the opening ceremony of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum. According to him, the military technologies available today could lead to a crisis that “would be even more difficult to control than those that arose in earlier times.”
“The United States and China are now more and more prone to confrontation, and they are applying their diplomacy through confrontation,” Kissinger, 97, told John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News. “The danger is that there may be a crisis that will go from hostile rhetoric to a real military conflict.”
