Xi: US urged to steer China policy back to pragmatism

In a virtual meeting with his US counterpart Joe Biden on Tuesday morning, President Xi Jinping said that it is hoped that the US president will demonstrate political leadership and steer America's China policy back on the track of reason and pragmatism.

Describing the reopening and development of China-US relations as the most important event in international relations over the past 50 years, Xi said that the most important event in international relations in the coming 50 years will be for China and the US to find the right way to get along.

History is a fair judge, he said, and what a statesman does, be it right or wrong, be it an accomplishment or a failure, will all be recorded by history.
