Foreign media reported today that US President Trump began a five-day Asia tour on October 26. While being interviewed on Air Force One, he said he hopes the talks with China can reach a "comprehensive agreement." He stated, "We will discuss many issues. I think it is very likely to reach a very comprehensive agreement."
As the world's two largest economies, high-level meetings between China and the United States have drawn great expectations from the international community. After all, only by sitting down to dialogue can the Sino-US relationship be eased, and stability be injected into the turbulent international situation. Previously, on the weekend, representatives of China and the United States held two days of talks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and "reached an initial framework," sending out positive signals.
However, given Trump's capricious and fickle style, the tone of pressure on China from the US will not change. In fact, whether the Sino-US relationship can truly ease depends on whether the US is willing to abandon its policy of containment and suppression. Only by taking a global perspective, stopping unilateral confrontational actions, and moving towards China, can the talks achieve substantial results.
