China's President Xi Jinping has congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, according to Chinese state media. He hopes for peaceful coexistence, respect, and cooperation between the two.
Xi emphasizes, according to CCTV, that China wants a stable relationship and that history shows that the two countries benefit from cooperation – but lose from confrontation. According to Xi, the rest of the world also wants to see such a relationship.
Trump has threatened to impose hefty tariffs on goods from China. Xi, as expected, does not comment on that. The two countries must strengthen their dialogue and find a correct way to work with each other, according to Xi.
