China and U.S. First Leaders Held A Nearly 4-hour Video Meeting

The heads of China and the United States had a video meeting for nearly 4 hours today. Xi Jinping: China and the United States should adhere to three principles in getting along in the new era
Regarding Sino-US economic and trade relations, Xi Jinping pointed out that the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win. When doing business, do not politicize Sino-US economic and trade issues. The two sides want to make a big cooperation “cake”. China attaches great importance to the appeal of American business people who want China to provide convenience for coming to China, and has agreed to implement an upgraded version of the “fast track”, which is believed to further promote Sino-US economic and trade exchanges and help the economic recovery of the two countries. The US should stop abusing and generalizing the concept of national security to suppress Chinese companies. It is necessary for China and the United States to maintain macroeconomic policy communication, support the recovery of the world economy and prevent economic and financial risks. The US should attach importance to the spillover effects of domestic macroeconomic policies and adopt responsible macroeconomic policies.
On the issue of energy security, Xi Jinping pointed out that China and the United States should advocate the international community to jointly maintain global energy security, strengthen cooperation in the fields of natural gas and new energy, and work with the international community to maintain the security and stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain.
Regarding the issue of climate change, Xi Jinping pointed out that China and the United States have joined hands to promote the “Paris Agreement” to address climate change. Now both countries are transitioning to a green and low-carbon economy. Climate change can definitely become a new highlight of Sino-US cooperation. I proposed that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. We must protect the ecological environment like protecting our eyes and treat the ecological environment like life. Now, the concept of ecological civilization has become a household name in China and has become a social consensus. China will complete the world’s highest carbon emission intensity reduction in the shortest time in history, and it will require very hard work. China emphasizes that words must be believed and deeds must be resolute. If you say it, you must do it. If you can’t do it, don’t say it. China is still the largest developing country in the world, and the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development is very prominent. All countries should adhere to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and take into account the response to climate change and the protection of people’s livelihood. Less prevarication, more unity and cooperation. More than a slogan, more than an action. Developed countries should earnestly fulfill their historical responsibilities and due obligations, and maintain policy stability.
On the issue of public health security, Xi Jinping pointed out that the new crown pneumonia epidemic has once again proved that human society is a community with a shared future. There is no higher priority than human life. Solidarity and cooperation are the most powerful weapon for the international community to defeat the epidemic. To deal with major epidemics, what is needed is a scientific attitude, and politicizing the disease problem will have all harms but no benefit. The top priority for the global fight against the epidemic is to break the vaccine deficit and eliminate the “vaccine gap.” At the beginning of the outbreak last year, I proposed that the new crown vaccine should be a global public product, and recently proposed a global vaccine cooperation initiative. China has taken the lead in providing vaccines to developing countries in need, accumulating more than 1.7 billion doses of vaccines and stock solutions. We will also consider the needs of developing countries and increase new donations. The new crown pneumonia epidemic will not be the last public health crisis facing mankind. China and the United States should advocate the establishment of a global public health and infectious disease prevention and control cooperation mechanism, and promote international exchanges and cooperation.
Biden said that the US-China relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. As two world powers, the United States and China have responsibilities to both the United States and China and the people of the world. The two sides should increase their understanding of each other’s intentions through open and frank dialogue, and ensure that the competition between the two countries is fair and healthy, and will not evolve into conflict. I agree with President Xi Jinping’s statement that history is fair, and US-China relations can only be done well, not messed up. China was already a big country more than 5,000 years ago. I would like to reiterate clearly that the United States does not seek to change China’s system, does not seek to strengthen alliances against China, and has no intention of conflict with China. The US government is committed to pursuing the long-term consistent one-China policy, does not support “Taiwan independence”, and hopes that the Taiwan Strait will maintain peace and stability. The United States is willing to work with China to respect each other, coexist peacefully, strengthen communication, reduce misunderstandings, properly handle differences in a constructive way, strengthen cooperation in areas where the interests of the United States and China are the same, and jointly respond to global challenges such as new crown pneumonia and climate change. The people of the country can live a better life. Our younger generation should be encouraged to get in touch with each other more and understand each other’s cultures, so as to make the world a better place.
The two sides also exchanged views on Afghanistan, the Iranian nuclear issue and the situation on the Korean Peninsula and other international and regional issues of common concern.
The capitals of the two countries believe that the meeting was frank, constructive, substantive, and fruitful, which is conducive to enhancing mutual understanding between the two sides, increasing the positive expectations of the international community on Sino-US relations, and sending a strong message to China, the United States and the world. Strong signal. The two sides agreed to continue to maintain close ties through various means to push China-U.S. relations back on the right track of healthy and stable development, and benefit the peoples of China and the U.S. and the peoples of the world.
