Trump said the China-U.S. meeting was proposed by China, and emphasized that a deal must be reached before the meeting.

Turkey: China is very dependent on the United States, it's not me who requested the meeting with China

Turkey said tonight (Beijing Time, August 5th evening): "I can have a meeting, our relationship is very good, but this meeting was not requested by me, it was requested by China. So the fake news claims that Donald Trump wants to meet with China. No, I don't want to; no, it's a meeting requested by China, and if we can reach an agreement, I may hold a meeting with China by the end of the year. If we cannot reach an agreement, I will not have the meeting. You know, what's the point of the meeting if we cannot reach an agreement?"

[Witty] Comment: Trump claims it's not him who insisted on meeting with China, which is just about saving face. Sino-US dialogue is for global stability and development, as well as for the stability of bilateral relations. If Trump continues to be immersed in this ignorant and arrogant fantasy, he will not only miss the opportunity for Sino-US cooperation, but also put the most important bilateral relationship in the world at risk.
