"President Xi especially emphasized and pointed out that China place great importance on the China-U.S. relationship, and we also look forward to working with the United States to expand bilateral, regional and global cooperation in all fields under the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, meanwhile to manage and control disparities in a constructive method to push forward China-U.S. ties for greater development at a new starting point and bring more benefits to the two countries' people and people around the world," the spokesman told reporters without specifying how the message was delivered.
Trump, a real estate developer and reality TV host, stunned the world by defeating heavily favoured rival Hillary Clinton, sending stocks and the U.S. dollar tumbling.
On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to take on China and tax Chinese imports to stop currency devaluation. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
