SHANGHAI -- Nations must reject Cold War thinking and embrace "strategic communication" to build trust, Chinese President Xi Jinping said in an address to the World Economic Forum on Monday, making his case to a global audience days after new U.S. President Joe Biden's inauguration.
"The problems facing the world are interconnected and complex," Xi said via video link to the Davos Agenda meetings -- an online prelude to the forum's mid-pandemic, in-person summit in Singapore in May. "The way out of them is through upholding multilateralism and building a community with a shared future for mankind."
