Kevin Rudd, the Australian ambassador to the United States known as a "China expert," delivered his views in Chinese at the Caixin "Asia Vision Forum" on September 12, stating directly that whether the leaders of China and the United States can meet and achieve results depends on four core factors: tariff negotiations, technology restrictions, rare earth issues, and geopolitical challenges.

[Witty] Comment: The senior military and diplomatic officials of China and the United States have had consecutive calls this week, a positive signal generally seen as paving the way for a meeting between the leaders of the two countries. Next month, the APEC Summit will be held in Gyeongju, South Korea. If Trump attends, there is a certain possibility of a side meeting between China and the United States. However, from the current situation, it is highly likely that Trump will not visit China before or after his visit to South Korea, as many differences between the two sides have not been effectively coordinated. In this context, observing the results of the talks between the Chinese and American delegations in Spain may be the most practical and critical step.
