The Xi-Biden summit held at the Filoli Estate on the eve of the APEC gathering has been hailed as a significant success, showcasing the commitment of China and the U.S., the world's two largest economies, to engage in direct and constructive dialogue despite existing differences and challenges.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden underscored the importance of managing their relationship positively, aiming to prevent major missteps and potential conflicts. President Xi expressed confidence that Planet Earth is vast enough for both nations to thrive, emphasizing that one country's success can be an opportunity for the other.
This summit represents a pivotal turning point in China-U.S. relations with far-reaching global implications. The key challenge now lies in capitalizing on this momentum by swiftly translating the agreed-upon principles into actionable plans.
From China's perspective, a critical aspect is the continued adherence of the United States to the one-China principle and the cessation of any efforts to undermine it. President Xi made it clear that the U.S. must honor its commitment not to support \"Taiwan independence.\" Encouragingly, President Biden affirmed his stance on the one-China principle, assuring that the U.S. will not back \"Taiwan independence.\" China fully expects that after these affirmations, the United States will uphold its commitments regarding the Taiwan question.
