...the irony is that the spat is not between Trump and Xi but Trump and Musk.
...we are living in an 'expect the unexpected' world.
Chinese readout of Xi-Trump phone call
President Xi Jinping pointed out that to correct the course of the "ship" of China-US relations, both sides must steer the helm and set the direction firmly, especially by eliminating various interferences and even sabotage—which is particularly crucial.
At the US proposal, the two countries’ economic and trade heads held talks in Geneva, marking an important step in resolving trade issues through dialogue and consultation. This move has been widely welcomed by both nations and the international community, proving that dialogue and cooperation are the only correct choice. The two sides should make good use of the established economic and trade consultation mechanisms, uphold an equal attitude, respect each other’s concerns, and strive for win-win results.
Since consensus has been reached, both sides should abide by it. After the Geneva talks, China has implemented the agreement seriously and earnestly. The US should objectively assess the progress made and roll back its negative measures against China. The two sides should enhance exchanges in diplomacy, trade, military affairs, law enforcement, and other fields to build consensus, reduce misunderstandings, and strengthen cooperation.
Xi stressed that the US should handle the Taiwan issue with caution to prevent a very small number of "Taiwan independence" separatists from dragging China and the US into a dangerous situation of conflict and confrontation. Trump expressed his great respect for President Xi, emphasizing the importance of US China relations.
The US is pleased to see China’s economy maintain strong growth, as bilateral cooperation can achieve many positive outcomes.
The US will continue to adhere to the One China policy. The Geneva economic and trade talks were successful, resulting in a good agreement. The US is willing to work with China to implement the agreement and welcomes Chinese students to study in the US.
Xi welcomed Trump to visit China again, and Trump expressed sincere gratitude. The two leaders agreed that their teams should continue implementing the Geneva consensus and hold a new round of talks as soon as possible.
