China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged the United States and China to overcome challenges prior to the anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Speaking to U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue on Wednesday, Wang advised both parties to concentrate on the positive agenda, properly handle disagreements, eliminate hindrances, and facilitate heightened exchanges between the two nations, as reported by CCTV.
Wang admitted that China-U.S. relations "still confront various risks and challenges." The two world leaders met in May in Beijing, vowing to maintain stability and preserve the fragile trade truce. Following their meeting, President Trump invited Xi to convene on September 24 in the United States, although the precise date remains unconfirmed.
Since then, both countries have persisted in targeting economic actions against each other, including the U.S. banning Chinese-made robots and China prohibiting American entities from engaging in trade and other activities.
