Joe Biden ‘sent Xi Jinping congratulatory message’ to mark China’s 75th National Day​

Chinese foreign ministry publicises US leader’s message on its website in press briefing format, saying only that it was received ‘recently’​

The presidential message also came as the US Department of State appeared to deviate from its past diplomatic practice of sending a formal congratulatory message ahead of China’s National Day.

The department published a congratulatory message from Secretary of State Antony Blinken on its website at 8am Beijing time, on Thursday, October 3. It has traditionally congratulated China before its National Day, as it does with all countries with which it has diplomatic ties.

It did so on September 29 last year and on September 30 in 2022.

The White House had not released any official statement on Biden’s message as of Saturday evening.

On October 1, the official Chinese government website also posted an article published each year by state news agency media Xinhua on congratulatory messages received by China on its National Day.

The article did not note any messages received from the US.
