BEIJING -- The U.S. and China should enhance communication and avoid misunderstanding and misjudgment at a very important time in bilateral relations, Chinese President Xi Jinping said in a meeting here Friday with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
The comments -- reported by the official Xinhua News Agency the week American lawmakers passed legislation supporting democracy in Hong Kong -- indicate that Xi looks to mend fences and avoid an all-out confrontation with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
