A top Chinese official said his country hopes the U.S. has learned its place as the communist nation looks forward to a return of what China’s state-run media calls “normalcy.”
The Xinhua News Agency on Saturday published an interview with Foreign Minister Wang Yi in which Wang expressed his hope for China’s relations with a Joe Biden administration.
Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. has taken a tough approach with the communist giant in trade and other areas.
Wang hopes the new administration will “return to a sensible approach, resume dialogue with China, restore normalcy to the bilateral relations and restart cooperation,” the report said.
“China-U.S. relations have come to a new crossroads, and a new window of hope is opening,” he said.
Wang cited “serious misconceptions” among U.S. leaders that have led to “unprecedented difficulties,” according to Xinhua.
“Some see China as the so-called biggest threat and their China policy based on this misperception is simply wrong,” the report said.
