BEIJING, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping said Monday that history has already proven and will continue to fully prove that mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are the right way for China and the United States to get along with each other as two major countries.
