Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday called for "stable, healthy and sustainable" ties between Beijing and Washington in a message to US president-elect Donald Trump, state media said.

In a "congratulatory message" to Trump, Xi "pointed out that history has shown that China and the United States benefit from cooperation and suffer from confrontation", state broadcaster CCTV said.

"A stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship is in the common interest of both countries and is in line with the expectations of the international community," Xi said.
