China's leader comments after meeting with Trump: Focus on trade, not confrontation


China's leader stated the country does not intend to challenge others and seeks to maintain trade ties with the US.

Following a recent meeting between China's leader and Donald Trump, an official comment was made by Beijing. The Chinese side emphasized it does not intend to challenge other states and is confident it can overcome potential risks and challenges on the international stage.

It was highlighted that trade cooperation should remain the foundation of relations between China and the US, rather than a source of dispute. Beijing expressed a strong interest in preserving stable economic ties with Washington and called for dialogue at all levels to deepen mutual understanding.

In 2026, China will host the APEC summit, while the United States will host the G20 summit. According to preliminary information, Trump may visit China in April, with the Chinese leader possibly visiting the US in the fall. Both countries signaled readiness to cooperate effectively in the international and regional arenas.

Statements made after the meeting reflect both sides' desire to avoid escalation and jointly seek ways to achieve global objectives. However, according to Ukrainian experts, Ukrainian society is critical of cooperation with countries that directly or indirectly support Russia's actions against Ukraine.
