The gala dinner was hosted by the US-China Business Council and the National Committee on US-China Relations.
President Biden told the gathering “Whatever stage of development it may reach, China will never pursue hegemony or expansion, and will never impose its will on others,”.
Biden told his Chinese counterpart Xi that they should keep their communications lines open and get to understand each other so as “to ensure that competition (between their countries) does not veer into conflict”.
Xi reiterated his opposition to describing the relationship as competition saying it “is not the prevailing trend of current times”.
Biden said that the US is not trying to “decouple” from China, but pursuing better relations with its assertive rival.
