On the afternoon of November 14 local time, President Xi Jinping held a meeting with US President Joe Biden in Bali, Indonesia. The two heads of state had a candid and in-depth exchange of views on strategic issues in China-US relations as well as major global and regional issues.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the current situation facing China-US relations is not in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples, nor is it in line with the expectations of the international community. China and the United States need to adopt an attitude of being responsible to history, the world, and the people, discuss the way for the two countries to get along with each other correctly in the new era, find the right direction for the development of bilateral relations, and push China-US relations back to the track of healthy and stable development, which will benefit both countries. country, benefiting the world.
Xi Jinping introduced the main situation and important achievements of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and pointed out that the internal and external policies of the Chinese Communist Party and the government are open and transparent, their strategic intentions are clear, and they maintain a high degree of continuity and stability. We comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, continue to take the realization of the people's yearning for a better life as the starting point, unswervingly carry out reform and opening up, and promote the construction of an open world economy. China continues to firmly pursue an independent foreign policy of peace, always decides its position and attitude based on the merits of the matter itself, advocates dialogue and consultation, peaceful settlement of disputes, deepens and expands global partnerships, and safeguards the international system with the United Nations at its core and international law Based on the international order, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. China will adhere to peaceful development, open development, and win-win development, and will be a participant and promoter of global development to achieve common development with other countries.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the world is at a major historical turning point. Countries need to face unprecedented challenges and seize unprecedented opportunities. We should view and handle Sino-US relations from this perspective. Sino-US relations should not be a zero-sum game in which you lose and I win, and you rise and fall. The success of China and the United States is an opportunity rather than a challenge for each other. The vast earth fully accommodates the respective development and common prosperity of China and the United States. The two sides should take a correct view of each other's internal and external policies and strategic intentions, and establish a tone of dialogue rather than confrontation, win-win rather than zero-sum exchanges. I attach great importance to Mr. President's statement on "four nos and one unintentional". China never seeks to change the existing international order, does not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, and has no intention of challenging and replacing the United States. The two sides should adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, and jointly ensure that China-US relations move forward on the right course, without deviation, stall, or collision. Complying with the basic norms governing international relations and the three Sino-US joint communiqués is the key for the two sides to manage and control conflicts and differences, and prevent confrontation and conflict. It is also the most important protection and safety net for Sino-US relations.
Xi Jinping systematically expounded on the origin of the Taiwan issue and China's principled position. Xi Jinping emphasized that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, the foundation of the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and the first insurmountable red line in Sino-US relations. The resolution of the Taiwan issue is a matter for the Chinese themselves and is China's internal affair. It is the common aspiration of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to safeguard the unity and territorial integrity of the motherland. Anyone who wants to separate Taiwan from China is against China's national justice, and the Chinese people will never agree! We hope to see and remain committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, but "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. It is hoped that the US will match its words with its deeds and abide by the one-China policy and the three Sino-US joint communiqués. Mr. President has said many times that he does not support "Taiwan independence" and has no intention of using Taiwan as a tool to seek a competitive advantage over China or to contain China. It is hoped that the US side will implement Mr. President's promise.
Xi Jinping pointed out that freedom, democracy and human rights are the common pursuit of mankind and the consistent pursuit of the Communist Party of China. The United States has American-style democracy, and China has Chinese-style democracy, both of which are in line with their respective national conditions. We are also proud that the whole process of people's democracy in China is based on China's national conditions, history and culture, and reflects the will of the people. It is impossible for any country's democratic system to be perfect, and it needs continuous development and improvement. Specific differences between the two parties can be discussed, provided that they communicate on an equal footing. The so-called "democracy against authority" is not a feature of today's world, let alone conform to the trend of the times.
Xi Jinping pointed out that what the United States is pursuing is capitalism, and what China is pursuing is socialism, and the two sides are taking different paths. This difference is not unique today, and will continue to exist in the future. The leadership of the Communist Party of China and the endorsement and support of China's socialist system by the 1.4 billion people are the fundamental guarantee for China's development and stability. One of the most important things for China and the United States to get along is to recognize and respect this difference, instead of imposing uniformity and trying to change or even subvert the other party's system. The US side should reflect its commitments in concrete actions instead of saying one thing and doing another.
Xi Jinping emphasized that China and the United States are two major countries with different histories, cultures, social systems, and development paths. There were differences and differences between the past and the present, and there will be differences in the future. However, this should not become an obstacle to the development of Sino-US relations. There is competition in the world at any time, but competition should learn from each other, catch up with each other, and make progress together, rather than you lose and I win, and you die. China has a glorious tradition of self-improvement, and all suppression and containment will only inspire the will and enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Fighting trade wars and technology wars, artificially "building walls" and forcing "decoupling and breaking chains" completely violate the principles of market economy and disrupt international trade rules, which will only harm others and benefit oneself. We oppose the politicization and weaponization of economic, trade, scientific and technological exchanges. Under the current situation, the common interests of China and the United States are not reduced, but more. No conflict, no confrontation, and peaceful coexistence between China and the United States are the most basic common interests of the two countries. The economies of China and the United States are deeply integrated, facing new development tasks, and need to benefit from each other's development, which is also a common interest. The post-epidemic recovery of the global economy, the response to climate change, and the resolution of regional hotspot issues are also inseparable from the coordination and cooperation between China and the United States. This is still a common interest. Both parties should respect each other, benefit each other, focus on the overall situation, and provide a good atmosphere and stable relationship for cooperation between the two parties.
Biden said that I have known President Xi Jinping for many years and have maintained regular communication, but in any case it cannot replace face-to-face meetings. Congratulations on your re-election as General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee. As two major countries, the United States and China have the responsibility to maintain a constructive relationship. The United States is committed to keeping the communication channels between the two heads of state and governments at all levels open, conducting candid dialogue on issues where the two sides disagree, and playing a key role in strengthening necessary cooperation to address important global challenges such as climate change and food security. This is very important to the United States and China and their people, and it is also very important to the entire world. I would like to reiterate that a stable and developing China is in the interests of the United States and the world. The United States respects China's system, does not seek to change China's system, does not seek a new Cold War, does not seek to oppose China by strengthening allies, does not support "Taiwan independence", does not support "two Chinas" and "one China, one Taiwan", and has no intention of agreeing China clashes. The United States has no intention of seeking to "decouple" from China, has no intention of obstructing China's economic development, and has no intention of enclosing China.
Biden said that how the US-China relationship develops is crucial to the future direction of the world. The United States and China have a common responsibility to show the world that the United States and China can manage and control differences, and avoid and prevent misunderstandings and misjudgments or fierce competition from turning into confrontation or even conflict. The U.S. agrees that the principles guiding U.S.-China relations should be established, and the teams of the two sides can continue the talks on the basis of the existing consensus and strive to reach an agreement as soon as possible. The US government pursues the one-China policy, does not seek to use the Taiwan issue as a tool to contain China, and hopes to see peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
The two heads of state agreed that the diplomatic teams of the two sides will maintain strategic communication and carry out regular consultations. It is agreed that the financial and financial teams of the two countries will carry out dialogue and coordination on macroeconomic policy, economic and trade issues and other issues. Agreed to work together to promote the success of the twenty-seventh Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The two sides reached an agreement on conducting dialogue and cooperation on public health, agriculture and food security between the two countries. Agree to make good use of the Sino-US Joint Working Group to promote the resolution of more specific issues. Agree that people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and the United States are very important, and encourage the expansion of personnel exchanges in various fields between the two countries.
The two heads of state also exchanged views on issues such as the Ukraine crisis. Xi Jinping pointed out that China is highly concerned about the current situation in Ukraine. After the crisis broke out, I put forward the "four shoulds", and not long ago I put forward the "four commons". Facing a global and complex crisis like the Ukrainian crisis, there are several points worthy of serious consideration: first, there are no winners in conflicts and wars; second, there is no simple solution to complex problems; third, confrontation between major powers must be avoided. China has always stood on the side of peace, will continue to promote peace talks, supports and looks forward to the resumption of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and hopes that the United States, NATO, and the European Union will conduct comprehensive dialogue with Russia.
The two heads of state believed that the meeting was in-depth, candid and constructive, and instructed the working teams of the two countries to follow up and implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state in a timely manner, and take practical actions to push China-US relations back to the track of stable development. The two heads of state agreed to continue to maintain regular contact.
Ding Xuexiang, Wang Yi, He Lifeng and others attended the meeting.
