I may be retarded, but archive.is was fucking up with this link.
>Chinese leader Xi Jinping urged restraint in a phone call with President Trump on Saturday, following a week of blustery rhetoric between North Korea and the U.S.
>Xi warned that “concerned parties” should avoid “remarks and actions” that could escalate tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to the state-run New China News Agency. He reiterated China’s desire to work with the U.S., citing “common interests” in preserving stability in the region.
>U.S. officials painted the call as one of friendly agreement. The two leaders affirmed North Korea must stop “its provocative and escalatory behavior,” the White House said in a statement.
Personally, this strikes me as something Trump would get offended over. China's president telling him what he can and can't say? When will they learn?
