Diplomatie: Vor Gipfel in den USA – Bessent will Chinas Vizepremier treffen
Vor dem Gipfel der Präsidenten Trump und Xi stehen weitere Gespräche zwischen Washington und Peking an. Handelsfragen und der technologische Wettbewerb beider Großmächte prägen das Verhältnis.
On the eve of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent plans to meet with China's Vice Premier He Lifeng over the weekend. He announced this during a hearing of the US House Financial Services Committee. President Xi is expected to meet with US President Donald Trump on September 24th in Washington.
Beijing has not yet officially confirmed the date, which typically happens very last minute in such cases. Bessent noted that "very good confidential talks" have already taken place with China. He looks forward to continuing them over the weekend with He. At the planned summit of the two presidents, trade disputes and technological competition between the two superpowers are expected to be important issues.
The two governments are currently negotiating on tariffs and the development of artificial intelligence: US authorities accuse Chinese companies of using illicit means to acquire American AI models. Beijing denies the accusations and warns of hindering its technology industry.
