President Xi continued, "There are a thousand reasons to improve China-US relations, but I have often said, including to many presidents, that there is not a single reason to ruin the bilateral relationship," emphasizing, "China and the United States must promote the welfare of their peoples, advance human progress, and demonstrate the broad-mindedness, vision, and responsibility of major powers."

He also explained that although there have been many twists and turns in the bilateral relationship, the general direction is moving forward. He added, "The world is developing and times are changing, but the historical logic of peaceful coexistence between China and the United States has not changed."

Senator Schumer said at the meeting, "I urge you and the Chinese people to stand with the people of Israel in condemning the cowardly and evil attacks against them," and expressed disappointment at the remarks of the Foreign Minister, who showed no sympathy or support for the people of Israel during this tragedy. He had also mentioned this during his earlier meeting with Wang Yi, China's Foreign Minister.
