We have given a positive response! Trump's visit to China is basically set in stone! On March 26, after the U.S. side announced the date of Trump's visit to China, our Foreign Ministry also issued a positive response. Our Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that leadership diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic guiding role in Sino-U.S. relations, and both sides are maintaining communication regarding President Trump's visit to China.
It is obvious that our Foreign Ministry's statement—“both sides are maintaining communication regarding President Trump's visit to China”—has already made things very clear: Trump's visit to China is essentially confirmed, and what both sides are now doing is finalizing the relevant details. Once these details are settled, U.S. President Trump will certainly carry out his visit to China. These details include the total duration of the meetings, whether a joint press conference will be held, the cities and itinerary of the visit, protocol arrangements, security measures, and more.
Naturally, this also includes the most critical agenda items for talks, as well as specific economic and trade outcomes that could be achieved. In fact, as long as the United States is willing to move toward us, we will certainly welcome the visit of the U.S. president. The U.S. focus lies in securing tangible economic and trade gains, while Taiwan remains our top priority. We will certainly require the U.S. to make a clear commitment to not support "Taiwan independence" and to abide by the three joint communiqués between China and the U.S. We believe the final confirmation of Trump’s visit schedule will come soon.
