Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of cooperation and mutual respect in a meeting with US President Joe Biden at a picturesque mansion in northern California. The leaders, gathered at the picturesque Filoli Estate, aimed to establish a working relationship amid strained ties exacerbated by the Covid pandemic and the Ukrainian war.

Seated across a long table with their respective delegations, Xi Jinping underscored the need to avoid conflict and prioritize cooperation, stating, "Conflicts and confrontations have unbearable consequences for both sides. Major country competition is not the prevailing trend of current times and cannot solve the problems facing China and the United States."
