Wang Yi calls overcome obstacles before Xi-Trump summit

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pressed the United States to remove interference and overcome obstacles to high‑level exchanges as Xi Jinping prepares for a September visit to the United States to meet current President Donald Trump. In Beijing, Wang met with US Ambassador David Perdue and urged both nations to focus on a positive agenda, properly manage differences, and sustain a stable, healthy relationship despite ongoing tensions. Officials described the talks as part of ongoing preparations for Xi’s reciprocal visit to Washington and emphasized constructive dialogue under the leaders’ guidance amid reported risks and challenges in the relationship. The discussions come as both sides have continued targeted actions—such as a US ban on Chinese-made robots and China’s restrictions on certain American entities—highlighting the delicate balance of cooperation and friction. The overall message from multiple outlets is a shared intent to advance high-level engagement and strategic stability while navigating trade and security frictions.
