"I thank President Xi Jinping for the congratulations and good wishes," Milei said on his personal X account.
Since the election, Milei has softened his tone with many he has previously criticized, including his countryman Pope Francis.
In a separate post on Wednesday, Milei thanked former U.S. President Donald Trump for congratulations from his campaign team and said he hoped to meet soon.
