Before Trump's visit to China, the United States proactively had a talk with the Chinese Foreign Minister, and the atmosphere at the scene was serious and tense.
On February 12, during the German Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio actively held a side meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, discussing issues such as bilateral trade, tariffs, and the Taiwan Strait.
Before the meeting, Wang Yi and Rubio shook hands and took a photo together, then refused to answer journalists' questions and directly went to the meeting room for negotiations. From the on-site pictures, it can be seen that our representatives looked serious, while the U.S. representatives tried to ease the atmosphere.
Some analysts pointed out that this Munich meeting was the second face-to-face conversation between Wang Yi and Rubio. This meeting will serve as a communication preparation for Trump's visit to China in the first week of April.
However, although Trump is eager to visit China and has suspended related trade restrictions against China to send signals, he still maintains an active attitude towards arms sales to Taiwan, touching China's core interests, becoming a focus of discussion.
In addition, Rubio is still on the list of sanctions imposed by China in 2020. Whether he can accompany Trump on his visit to China will also be a question.
