Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday that China and the United States should keep up the momentum in ties, and keep moving forward in the right direction on the basis of equality, respect and mutual benefit.
Xi made the remarks while speaking with U.S. President Donald Trump on the phone.
He said that the two sides should lengthen the list of cooperation and shorten the list of problems, so as to make more positive progress, create new space for China-U.S. cooperation and bring more benefits to the people of both countries and the world.
Xi outlined China’s principled position on the Taiwan question, underscoring that Taiwan’s return to China is an integral part of the post-war international order.
Noting that China and the United States fought shoulder to shoulder against fascism and militarism, Xi said that given what is going on, it is even more important for the two sides to jointly safeguard the victory of World War II. (GSF)
