British media on Sunday (September 14) quoted informed sources as saying that China has invited US President Trump to visit China and meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but the White House has yet to respond. There are significant differences between the two countries on tariffs and the fentanyl issue, which reduces the likelihood of a summit taking place in Beijing.
According to Reuters citing the Financial Times, lack of progress in China-US negotiations has diminished the chances of Trump and Xi meeting in Beijing, and they are more likely to hold a low-key meeting during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in South Korea in October.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US Secretary of State Rubio had a phone call on Wednesday (the 10th). Some analysts believe this is to set the tone and create conditions for a "Xi-Trump Summit." After the call, Rubio also told the media that both sides have a “strong willingness” to hold a leaders’ summit.
He Lifeng, a member of the CCP Politburo and Vice Premier of the State Council, will lead a delegation to Spain starting Sunday to hold talks with US Treasury Secretary Vicente. The two sides will discuss US unilateral tariff measures, abuse of export controls, and economic and trade issues such as TikTok.
