China Sees ‘Stable Period’ for U.S. Ties After Xi-Trump Summit

A summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump may have ushered in a period of “stability and control” for the world’s most important bilateral relationship, according to China’s top diplomat.

The assessment from Foreign Minister Wang Yi came after Xi’s attendance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, where he held a series of high-level diplomatic meetings. The talks in Busan between Xi and Trump, their first face-to-face interaction in six years and the first since Trump began his new term, have drawn global attention, with observers widely seeing them as a positive signal that could ease tensions, Wang said in a summary of the trip released by the foreign ministry.
