On the evening of November 24, President Xi Jinping had a phone conversation with US President Trump.
Xi Jinping pointed out that we successfully held a meeting in Busan, South Korea last month and reached many important consensuses, calibrating the course and injecting impetus for the steady progress of the giant ship of China-US relations, and also sending a positive signal to the world. Since the Busan meeting, Sino-US relations have been generally stable and improving, and have been widely welcomed by both countries and the international community. Facts have once again proved that China and the United States "both benefit from cooperation and lose from confrontation" is common sense that has been repeatedly verified in practice. "Mutual achievements and common prosperity" between China and the United States are visible and tangible reality. Both sides should maintain this momentum, adhere to the right direction, uphold the attitude of equality, respect and reciprocity, lengthen the list of cooperation and shorten the list of issues, strive for more positive progress, open up new cooperation space for Sino-US relations, and better benefit the people of the two countries and the people of the world.
Xi Jinping clarified China’s principled position on the Taiwan issue and emphasized that Taiwan’s return to China is an important part of the post-war international order. China and the United States once fought side by side against fascism and militarism, and now they should work together to safeguard the results of the victory in World War II.
Trump said that President Xi Jinping is a great leader. I had a very pleasant meeting with President Xi Jinping in Busan, and I fully agree with your views on the relations between the two countries. Both sides are fully implementing the important consensus reached at the Busan meeting. China played an important role in the victory of World War II, and the United States understands the importance of the Taiwan issue to China.
The two heads of state also talked about the Ukrainian crisis. Xi Jinping emphasized that China supports all efforts committed to peace and hopes that all parties will continue to narrow their differences and reach a fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement at an early date to solve the root cause of this crisis.
