CHINESE President Xi J inping said on Thursday that Beijing and Washington must find a way to "get along" in a message to US president-elect Donald Trump, state media reported.
In his first message to Trump since the former president secured a second term, Xi said "history has shown that China and the United States benefit from cooperation and suffer from confrontation," state broadcaster CCTV said.
"A stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship is in the common interest of both countries and is in line with the expectations of the international community," Xi said. He called for Washington and Beijing to "strengthen dialogue and communication" and "properly manage differences". The two countries must "find a correct way.. to get along in this new era, to benefit both countries and the world", Xi said.
Chinese Vice President Han Zheng also sent a message to vice president-elect JD Vance, CCTVsaid.
Both Republican Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris had pledged to get tougher on Beijing.
But Trump upped the ante, vowing to slap 60 % tariffs on all Chinese goods entering the United States.
The president-elect aims to "restore some level of balance in the US-China trade", Yun Sun, a Senior Fellow at the Stimson Center, said.
"Given his arts of *maximum pressure' before striking a deal, I do expect him to impose the tariff," she added.
