"The US should maintain the right perception and work with China to implement the overall agreements reached at the San Francisco meeting," Wang Wenbin said. He also called on Washington to stop “treating China as a hypothetical enemy and saying one thing and doing another.” Earlier, US President Joe Biden told reporters that after negotiations with the leader of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, he had not changed his opinion of him as a “dictator.” Prior to this, Xi Jinping, during a meeting with Biden, stated that the conflict between the United States and China could lead to unbearable consequences for both countries. According to the Chinese leader, competition between states should not be a prevailing trend. In his opinion, it will not be able to solve the problems facing China, the United States and the world as a whole. Earlier, the United States called China “the world’s greatest geopolitical enemy.”
