Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a letter to a U.S. political advisory group ahead of a widely expected virtual meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden.
Beijing typically uses the term "mutual respect" in calling for more favorable communication with the U.S.
"Right now, China-U.S. relations are at a critical historical juncture," Xi said, according to a letter addressed to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, a New York-based non-profit."Cooperation is the only right choice."a few hours ahead of the letter's readout, citing a source familiar with the matter.
In early October, CNBC reported the two leaders planned to hold such a meeting before the end of the year. "Following the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, China stands ready to work with the United States to enhance exchanges and cooperation across the board," according to the letter.
It was read in English by China's ambassador to the U.S., Qin Gang, during the annual gala of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. The event was livestreamed Wednesday morning Beijing time.
