In Further High-Level Exchange, China and US Say Channels Remain Open

  • On Thursday, the United States’ second-highest diplomat, Christopher Landau, and China’s top deputy foreign minister, Ma Zhaoxu, conducted a phone conversation to address shared concerns amid ongoing tensions.
  • The call followed earlier high-level talks in Geneva and a 90-day tariff reduction earlier this month aimed at easing the trade war between the two countries.
  • Both officials covered a wide range of issues and emphasized the importance of maintaining open communication channels and the bilateral relationship for their peoples and the world.
  • A spokesperson from the U.S. State Department noted that the tariff cuts represent a temporary easing of the trade conflict, with both countries aiming to work toward a more comprehensive agreement, a position also recognized by Beijing.
  • The exchange signals continued diplomatic engagement but analysts caution it may not indicate a breakthrough given persistent disputes over trade and technology restrictions.
