China’s top diplomat says China–U.S. relations remain generally stable despite ongoing challenges and “twists and disruptions,” ahead of an expected visit by President Donald Trump to China next week. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi makes the assessment during meetings in Beijing with a U.S. bipartisan congressional delegation. The accounts say Wang describes the past year as marked by disruptions but adds that both sides have managed to maintain overall stability. Wang also credits leadership from President Xi Jinping and Trump for helping “steer the direction” of bilateral relations during critical moments. Delegation members, including Sen. Steve Daines, respond by arguing for de-escalation rather than decoupling and for stability grounded in mutual respect. Chinese officials also call on both countries to find ways to contribute to global peace. Across the reports, the diplomatic message centers on maintaining stable ties while acknowledging difficulties, with discussions taking place in the week leading to Trump’s visit.
