Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday that China is ready to work with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump to improve bilateral relations. During their meeting at the APEC summit in Peru, Xi expressed his willingness to maintain communication, expand cooperation, and manage differences with the new U.S. administration. He emphasized that "China is ready to work with a new U.S. administration" and warned of the risks of U.S.-China decoupling, particularly in light of Trump's "America first" policies. The meeting marked their final discussion before the transition of power.
