Chinese state media reported that President Xi Jinping held a phone conversation with U.S. President Trump on the evening of the 5th. The leaders agreed to conduct a new round of economic and trade talks as soon as possible, with Xi emphasizing the need for the U.S. to handle Taiwan issues cautiously to avoid escalating conflicts.

Xi mentioned that correcting the course of U.S.-China relations requires eliminating various interferences. A meeting in Geneva between the economic and trade leaders of both nations has been proposed by the U.S., which has received widespread support from the international community, proving that dialogue and cooperation are the only correct choices.

Xi asserted that China is committed to the agreement and called for the U.S. to reconsider its negative measures against China while strengthening exchanges in diplomacy, economics, military, and law enforcement to reduce misunderstandings and enhance cooperation.

Trump expressed his respect for Xi and acknowledged the importance of U.S.-China relations, welcoming strong economic growth in China. Both leaders agreed to follow up on the Geneva consensus and to hold new talks promptly.
