It should be noted that, the two countries’ lead officials recently held an economic and trade meeting in Geneva at the suggestion of the United States’ side, Xi said it marked an important step forward in resolving the relevant issues through dialogue and consultation and was welcomed by both societies and the international community.
The Chinese, Xi said, always honor and deliver what has been promised, urging both sides to make good on the agreement reached in Geneva
In fact, China has been seriously and earnestly executing the agreement, Xi added. The U.S. side should acknowledge the progress made and remove the negative measures taken against China, he added.
President Xi emphasized that the United States must handle the Taiwan question with prudence, so that the fringe separatists bent on “Taiwan independence” will not be able to drag China and America into the dangerous terrain of confrontation or even conflict.
Trump, for his part, said that he has great respect for President Xi and that the U.S.-China relationship is very important.
He said the U.S. wants the Chinese economy to do very well and that the U.S. and China working together can get a lot of great things done. The U.S. will honor the one-China policy, he said.
