With a third summit between the US and Chinese leaders expected next week, Chinese President Xi Jinping has expressed his hope that the two superpowers can find common ground on which to cooperate. His comments come amid a marked cooling of relations.“Right now, China-US relations are at a critical historical juncture,” Xi said in a letter to the National Committee on US-China Relations. The letter was read to the New York-based non-profit at its annual gala on Tuesday by China’s ambassador to the United States, Qin Gang.“Both countries will gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation,” Xi said. “Cooperation is the only right choice.”wn.com
