Wang Yi: US-China Ties 'Landmark', Urges UN Defense

0:00From geopolitics to global markets, this is global news today. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi called this year a landmark for ties with the United States. The country's biggest rival. He struck an upbeat note ahead of an expected summit between President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at the end of March. Wang spoke Sunday during a briefing at China's annual legislative meeting. He highlighted good personal exchanges between the leaders, which provide a strategic foundation for the relationship, despite differences. Tensions have simmered for years, fueled by Trump's trade war. He imposed deep tariffs on China last year over a huge trade gap, leading to a temporary truce in October that paused the worst duties but left core. Issues unresolved. Wang urged both sides to prepare thoroughly, create the right atmosphere, and handle distractions. He stressed China's open stance and said the US must meet it halfway. Meanwhile, Wang defended the United Nations amid US pullbacks, warning against bypassing it.
