US-China Relations: Chinese Government Appeals for Stability Amid Tensions in the Tech Sector

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need for stability in US-China relations during a call with US counterpart Marco Rubio. He highlighted the challenges in stabilizing ties and called for enhanced dialogue. Wang noted the success of President Xi Jinping's visit to the US in September, which provided clearer strategic guidance for bilateral relations. He reiterated China's commitment to maintaining its policy towards Washington and expressed willingness to improve communication and cooperation. The call precedes the APEC leaders' meeting in Shenzhen, where both Xi and US President Donald Trump are expected to attend. Despite a trade truce extension until January 2027, tensions remain, particularly in technology, exacerbated by allegations of Chinese espionage against Nvidia's CEO.
