We met in Bali on the sidelines of the G20 since then key members of our teams are important discussions on issues matters in both our Nations into the world. But as always there is no substitute to face-to-face discussion always found our discussion straightforward and Frank and I've always appreciate it. Mr. President. We known each other for a long time. We haven't always agree which was not surprised anyone but our meetings have always been candid straightforward and useful. I've never doubted what you've told me in terms of your candida nature and when she speak I value our conversation because I think it's Paramount that you and I understand each other clearly leader-to-leader with no misconceptions or miscommunication. We have to ensure their competition does not fear in the conflict and we always have to manage it responsibly that competition. That's what the United States want. And what we intend to do. We also I also believe it to world wines from both of us can exchange. We all have a responsibility to our people and the work the world to work together when we see it in their interest to do so and a critical Global challenges. We Face from climate change to counter-narcotics to artificial intelligence demand our joint effort. Last time. We met in Bali you said it was a year and a day ago. A lot has happened since then. The world has emerged from the covid pandemic. But it's still under its tremendous impact the global economy is recovering but its momentum remains sluggish industrial and Supply chains are still under the threat of interruption and protectionism is rising all these are grave problems the China us relationship, which is the most important bilateral relationship in the world should be perceived and envisioned in a broad context of the of the accelerating Global Transformations and seen in a century. It should develop a tattoo peoples and fulfills our responsibility for human pelvis. China us relationship has never been smooth sailing over the past fifty years and more and it always faces problems of one kind or another yet. It is kept moving forward and twists and turns for two large countries like China United States turning their back on each other is not an option. It is unrealistic for one side to remodel the other and countless and confrontation has a evil consequences for both sides. I'm still of the view that major country competition is not the prevailing trend of current time and cannot solve the problems faced in China and the United States or the World At Large planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed at one country success is an opportunity for the other. It is an objective fact that China and the United States a difference in history culture social system and development path. However, as long as they respect each other coexist in peace and pursue winning cooperation, they will be fully capable of rising above differences and find the right weight for the two major countries to get along with each other. He's in a promising future of the bilateral relationship Mr. President You & I we are at the helm of China us relations. We showed a heavy responsibility for the two peoples for the world and for history. I look forward to having. In-depth exchange of views and reach new region you and the standings with you on strategic an overarching issues critical to the direction of Tanya's relations, and no major issues affecting world, peace and development. I wish to Thank you for your thoughts were arrangements for our meeting today and for our participation at the Apec meeting. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"President Joe Biden Meets with President Xi Jinping to Discuss U.S.-China Relations","description":"U.S. President Joe Biden says the aim of his meeting with China's President Xi Jinping is to \"better understand each other.\"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QQyJLUGm/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-11-15T21:56:29.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QQyJLUGm.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/QQyJLUGm/","duration":"PT5M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/QQyJLUGm/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
