China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged both the United States and China to overcome obstacles and focus on positive initiatives ahead of the anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping. During a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue, Wang emphasized the importance of properly managing differences, removing interference, and ensuring smooth exchanges between the two nations.
He acknowledged that China-U.S. relations continue to face various risks and challenges. The pair last met in May in Beijing, where they pledged to maintain a stable relationship and uphold the trade truce. Later, President Trump invited President Xi to meet on September 24 in the United States, although the specific date remains unconfirmed.
Since then, both nations have taken targeted economic actions against one another, including the U.S. banning Chinese-made robots and China prohibiting American entities from engaging in trade.
