XI Jinping: Cooperation with Trump despite tensions with bidges!

In a surprising step, China's head of state XI Jinping has announced that he also wanted to work with a future US government under Donald Trump. During a meeting on the edge of the APEC summit in Lima, Peru, XI emphasized that relationships between the two largest economies in the world had remained stable despite "ups and downs". He called for close communication and cooperation to overcome differences and make progress. "If we treat ourselves as a partner, we will move forward," says XI.

The meeting marks the first personal meeting between XI and the outgoing President Joe Biden for a year. The atmosphere was tense because Trump, who will take over the office in January, has already announced that it would introduce new tariffs to Chinese goods. Biden, which is proud of the progress with XI, emphasized that military communication between the two countries has been improved and that they work together in areas such as artificial intelligence and drug control. "It's about competition, not about conflict," emphasized Biden and warned of misjudgments that could lead to tensions.

delicate topics and challenges

The talks were overshadowed by delicate topics, including the support of China's support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict. Biden expressed his concern about China's role in the armaments industry in Russia and the stationation of North Korean soldiers in Russia. In addition, Biden met the Taiwanese representative of Lin Hsin-i during the summit, which Beijing should annoy, since China Taiwan sees as part of his territory.

The political situation in the USA is also tense for bidies. After the elections two weeks ago, he lost influence because the Democrats lost their majority in the Senate and the Republicans dominate in the House of Representatives. This could continue to make negotiations with China more difficult in the future, especially if Trump continues his aggressive trade policy.
