China's President Xi Jinping congratulated Donald Trump on his U.S. presidential win and urged both nations to find the "right way to get along", as looming U.S. tariffs threatened to return them to the days of a trade war years ago.

Axar.az reports that,citing Reuters, stable, sound and sustainable China-U.S. relations serve the interests of both, Xi said on Thursday, adding that the international community would expect the two powers to "respect each other (and) co-exist peacefully".

Xi also called for strengthened dialogue and communication to resolve differences.

But Trump's threat of tariffs of 60% on U.S. imports of Chinese goods poses major growth risks for China.
