Xi calls for steady transition of China-US relationship for peoples' benefit

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday called for a steady transition of the China-U.S. relationship for the benefit of the two peoples.

President Xi made the statement when meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in the Peruvian capital Lima.

"I'm pleased to meet with you again, President Biden. China-U.S. relations over the past four years have gone through ups and downs. But under our joint stewardship, the two sides have also been engaged in fruitful dialogue and cooperation, and the China-U.S. relationship has remained stable on the whole. The United States has just held its presidential election. China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged. China's commitment to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation as principles for handling China-U.S. relations remains unchanged. China's position of resolutely safeguarding China's sovereignty, security and development interests remains unchanged. And China's desire to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American peoples remains unchanged. China is ready to work with the U.S. government to maintain dialogue, expand cooperation and manage differences, so as to strive for a steady transition of the China-U.S. relationship for the benefit of the two peoples," said Xi.

"Thank you very much, Mr. President. It's good to see you and see all of you again. The conversations have always been candid and always been frank. These conversations prevent miscalculations, and they ensure the competition between our two countries will not veer into conflict. The competition, not conflict. That's our responsibility to our people, and as you indicated, to the people around the world. We are the most important relationship in the entire world," said Biden.

The 26th China Hi-Tech Fair, which ran from Thursday to Saturday in south China's tech hub of Shenzhen, featured the debuts of over 4,300 new products and technologies.

One of the most eye-catching exhibits is an intelligent drone camera that doesn't require a remote control. It can take high-resolution pictures hovering at a certain distance above its owner after a facial recognition process.

"A great merit of the drone is it's portable, safe and convenient. The fully enclosed structure can effectively avoid visual obstacles for its 8K video camera. It is easy for customers to learn how to use the drone. It can fly at a speed up to 42 kilometers per hour. So it can be used during traveling and outdoor activities," said Song Yulong, an exhibitor.

Another highlight at the fair is a coffee robot capable of making latte art based on images uploaded to its system.

Besides daily products, the fair also presented many innovative solutions to production facilitation, such as a large language model that can quickly come up with dozens of design proposals based on a few pictures.

"For example, I upload the pictures of this pair of shoes and an armor, and then it can make a design based on just these two pictures. It can generate a specific and practical product design according to style references and modeling inputs," said Li Jiaxiang, another exhibitor.

The annual China Hi-Tech Fair, inaugurated in 1999, is the largest and the most influential science and technology fair in China.

This year's event attracted nearly 5,000 companies and organizations from over 100 countries and regions. More than 1,000 purchasing delegations around the world visited the fair, and more than 400,000 professional visitors negotiated deals at the fair.

It witnessed the signing of 869 contracts with their intended transaction volume surpassing 120 billion yuan (about 16.8 billion U.S. dollars).
