Xi Says China Won't Fight 'Cold or Hot War' With US

President Xi Jinping said China wants to be friends with the US and said his nation won’t fight a war with anyone, one of his clearest remarks yet proclaiming a desire for peaceful ties between the world’s two largest economies.

In a speech to business executives in San Francisco shortly after meeting US President Joe Biden on Wednesday, Xi said China “never bets against the United States” and “has no intention to challenge the United States or to unseat it.”

“Whatever stage of development it may reach, China will never pursue hegemony or expansion, and will never impose its will on others,” Xi said. “China does not seek spheres of influence and will not fight a cold war or a hot war with anyone.”

I hope President Xi is speaking from the heart! I like the Chinese people and wouldn’t like a war between the USA and China! If this happens, millions of innocent lives will be lost! These two giant superpowers should work together and maintain a friendly relationship to achieve peace around the world!
