"For two large countries like China and the United States, turning their back on each other is not an option," Xi told Biden at the beginning of their talks on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. "It is unrealistic for one side to remodel the other, and conflict and confrontation has unbearable consequences for both sides."
Biden told Xi it was "paramount" the two leaders understand each other clearly and "ensure that competition does not veer into conflict."
Biden also plans to seek China's help with the two global conflicts that have eclipsed his foreign policy agenda: Russia's continued assault on Ukraine and the global effort to combat climate change.
