When meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, US Vice President Kamala Harris called for “open channels of communication.”

According to a White House official, US Vice President Kamala Harris had a brief meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday.

In his discussion with President Xi on November 14, President Biden stressed a crucial point, according to the official: “We must keep open lines of communication to responsibly manage the competition between our countries.”

Later in the morning, the meeting was verified by CCTV, the national broadcaster of China.

According to the broadcaster’s official summary of the discussion, Xi Jinping declared that the meeting with President Biden in Bali, Indonesia, was strategic, productive, and had significant guiding importance for the future phase of China-US ties.

It is hoped that the two sides would deepen their knowledge of one another, lessen misperception and misunderstanding, and work together to encourage the resumption of healthy and stable China-US ties.

Following Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the Tawian, which Beijing regards as a rebellious province, ties between the US and China became extremely tense throughout the summer.
