From AFP:
Beijing and Washington should “accommodate each other’s concerns,” Chinese President Hu Jintao told US president-elect Barack Obama in a phonecall that stressed good Sino-US ties, state media said Sunday.
Hu and Obama spoke Saturday, with the Chinese leader calling for cooperation on issues such as the current global financial turmoil but also urging US respect for Chinese positions on touchy issues such as Taiwan, Xinhua news agency said.
The conversation is thought to be the pair’s first since Obama’s election victory last week, with Hu becoming the latest world leader to get acquainted with the man whose election has been welcomed worldwide.
