SHANGHAI/JAKARTA -- Beijing is publicly calling for the next U.S. administration to work with China to put bilateral relations back on track -- whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden winds up as president.

At a news briefing in Shanghai on Thursday, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng said he hoped the new administration will uphold the spirit of nonconflict, nonconfrontation, and win-win cooperation.
