Xi's special representative Han Zheng to attend Trump inauguration
China’s vice president will attend President-elect Trump’s inauguration, according to a Thursday statement from the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson.
“At U.S. invitation, President Xi Jinping’s special representative, Vice President Han Zheng, will attend the inauguration ceremony of President Donald Trump on January 20 in Washington, D.C.,” the statement read.
“China follows the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation in viewing and growing its relationship with the United States.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping promised to send a high-level representative to the 60th inaugural ceremony last Friday.
“We stand ready to work with the new U.S. government to enhance dialogue and communication, properly manage differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, jointly pursue a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship and find the right way for the two countries to get along with each other,” the announcement continued.
China has been designated a foreign adversary, and President Biden has heavily sanctioned the East Asian country’s electric vehicle exports, among other products, as its global sales swell.
