BEIJING
\nPresident Xi Jinping said China and the United States must \u201cfind ways to get along\u201d to safeguard world peace and development, state media reported on Thursday, as he embarks on his precedent-breaking third term in power.
\nChina and the United States have butted heads in recent years on issues ranging from Beijing\u2019s aggression towards self-governing Taiwan to its crackdown in Hong Kong and alleged rights abuses in Xinjiang.
\nWashington has also accused Beijing of providing diplomatic cover for Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.
\nXi sealed another five years as China\u2019s leader at the end of a twice-a-decade Communist Party Congress on Sunday.
\n\u201cThe world today is neither peaceful nor tranquil,\u201d Xi wrote in a congratulatory letter to the National Committee on US-China Relations (some of his first remarks since the Congress) according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
\n\u201cAs major powers, strengthening communication and cooperation between China and the US will help to increase global stability and certainty, and promote world peace and development,\u201d he reportedly told the New York-based non-profit organisation.
\nXi added that China was \u201cwilling to work with the US to give mutual respect, coexist peacefully and find ways to get along in the new era\u201d, the broadcaster reported.
\nDoing so \u201cwill not only be good for both countries, but also benefit the world\u201d, Xi wrote.
\nThe Biden administration said this month that China is the only competitor to the United States \u201cwith both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to advance that objective\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
