Xi Jinping Urges US to Avoid Unilateral Trade Moves Amid TikTok Negotiations
Chinese President Xi Jinping told President Donald Trump that the U.S. should avoid unilateral trade actions while welcoming negotiations over TikTok. During the call, China's stance favored market rule-based business talks. The discussion left the TikTok issue unresolved, awaiting further diplomatic engagement.
In a recent diplomatic communication, Chinese President Xi Jinping advised U.S. President Donald Trump to refrain from unilateral measures concerning trade disputes, emphasizing China's openness to dialogue over the TikTok situation.
According to Chinese state media, this was the leaders' first conversation in three months, described as 'pragmatic, positive, and constructive'. The conversation notably highlighted China's encouragement of market rule-based negotiations for firms like TikTok.
While the talk underscored a willingness to find a solution aligned with Chinese laws, it left questions over an agreement's finalization. The call's outcome keeps watchers on edge for potential U.S.-China diplomatic meetings. Notably, the White House provided no immediate commentary.
