Japan has been lobbying for US President Donald Trump to stop in Japan when he heads to Asia next month, as a signal of the strength of their alliance. But there’s little indication he’ll add Tokyo to his itinerary. @khushboo228 scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

US President Donald Trump pressed China's Xi Jinping to ease export curbs on Japan during their meeting last month, framing the Chinese measures as a threat to US industries reliant on Japanese suppliers and thus an indirect violation of the Busan truce. scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

Xi's visit to the US was marked with pageantry but Beijing had wanted more from the trip. Beijing, sources say, suggested Xi could engage with the US business community and public, and proposed AI talks between Chinese and US executives. scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

Q: Yesterday, Ambassador Perdue said you suggested to Xi U.S. could sell military equipment to China? TRUMP: "I never heard of that one. I'm going to have to ask him. You mean we're going to sell? Now they probably would like to buy it because we do make better equipment than them, so maybe it's a good idea. But we didn't discuss that." Trump suggests his U.S. ambassador to China "may have been talking about Taiwan" !!

For Trump, the G2 means "two guys," for Xi "two governments." I appreciate the opportunity for an in-depth discussion of US-China relations, the summit, and China's economy with @SCMPNews @deweysim. scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

Exclusive: With less than six weeks until Xi’s visit to the US, China once again confronts a disorganised Trump administration that lacks planning, with little progress made on finalising deliverables for the summit. The anxiety runs deeper this time. scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

This morning, @SecScottBessent and I spoke with Vice Premier He Lifeng of the People’s Republic of China. We discussed building on the positive progress that has been made in the agriculture sector. The United States and China are working to establish more balanced trade using mechanisms like the new U.S.-China Board of Trade. I also raised concerns regarding a series of new supply chain measures challenging U.S. reindustrialization, and underscored President Trump’s focus on ensuring compliance with our agreements.

It was an honor to host Executive Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu of the People’s Republic of China at the Pentagon yesterday. Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, we deal with our Chinese counterparts in a spirit of respect, candor, and realism. In that vein, I had a direct discussion with Minister Ma, and we look forward to further exchanges with our Chinese counterparts in the coming months.
