LIMA: China will "strive for a smooth transition" in relations with the United States and is ready to work with Donald Trump's new administration, President Xi Jinping told his counterpart Joe Biden on Saturday (Nov 16).
Their meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit comes two months before Trump takes office in January, amid concerns of new trade wars and diplomatic upheaval.
