Xi congratulates Trump on election win as China calls for 'mutual respect' with US

China’s foreign ministry on Thursday called for a China-United States relationship to be one of “mutual respect” where differences can be “properly” managed.

The response came to a question at a briefing that asked confirmation of whether Chinese president Xi Jinping had called or messaged U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.

Xi's congratulatory message through his ministry's office was more subdued than in 2016, as a second question focused on China’s response to Trump’s proposed tariffs and Trump saying Xi would not invade Taiwan.

Trump's win could revive issues from his first presidency, when he started the bruising trade war with the world's second-largest economy in 2018, though striking a truce just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck in January 2020.

I started my first job in 1985 and a few years later, I set the goal to have $1 million saved by the time I retired. I'm 3 years from retirement and hit that goal last year, but I now know I should have moved that goal post further out to $1.5 million or more.
I remember as a kid thinking millionaires were these people who lived like demi-gods among all us serfs. Now I am one and still don't feel any different from a serf.

Instead of reporting on the Winnipeg Lab Leak report, this is what Global talks about China. 😂

China knows they're dealing with a lion and now a kitten anymore. Strong leaders always respect other strong leaders.

Respect to Xi Jinping and China. China has emerged as a world player and is equal to the U.S. I agree there should be a mutual friendship between the two countries.
Sure, China and the U.S. will have their differences, and different ideas on how things should be done, but both are considered super powers in this day and age and need to remain friends and work through the differences as such.

President Trump will go into American 🇺🇲 history book as the *one who woke the world up about the expansionist China 🇨🇳.* He
- began with hefty tariffs on Chinese imports, then
- broadened into tech restrictions against Huawei, and
- finally launched a decoupling from China.
Future US policy will basically *continue and intensify* this strategy.

-_-...thats my chinese face not a poker face

What role has the US played in Taiwan? It's my impression there have been many business and other beneficial interactions and partnerships between all & obviously, including China. Tremendous ideas and effort by various parties is a feat to be proud of. Why does it seem impossible to recognize relationships & efforts by all? Am I wrong?

Xi … it didn’t worked our way out but congratulations 😂

Yes this is how it’s supposed to do and China would see us as heroes and respect we have Chinese culture in our country cause North America not just USA is a melting pot and does anyone believe that China had human rights and other positive things and rights it does have religion too ok they want peace and respect also communist supplied to be something else something positive without misconception and more others need to learn and someone to teach them respect and love for countries we are on same planet ok and countries are equal and Asia is part of United nation I’m not against any culture or anything I respect them what about Kai pan show inspiration from dora, kung fu, Disney theme parks, basketball, American residents, reject abuse, have rules of immigration like america about legal, other international sprits like the Olympics trust me, and more. I feel bad for coronavirus it’s not their fault it was that guy who isn’t from China did I feel bad wish people could’ve wait to visit when the thing was over instead of worldwide disease but we made it through we are gonna miss love ones who died and the protests wouldn’t happen against groups or stereotypes from the virus and riots and crimes against them and even American born people.
