China has called on the U.S. to prioritize collaboration over competition, following high-level talks aimed at stabilizing economic ties. During a press briefing Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized the need for both nations to act on the "important consensus" reached during a June 5 phone call between their leaders.
🔊 Lin stated: "Now that a consensus has been reached, both sides should abide by it." The remarks came after a recent meeting of the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism in London, which saw "new progress" in addressing mutual concerns, according to officials.
The dialogue, held under the strategic guidance of both leaders, builds on earlier talks in Geneva and aims to reduce misunderstandings through what Lin described as "communication and dialogue." Analysts suggest this could signal a thaw in tensions amid ongoing trade disputes and tech competition.
