Xie Feng said Chinese and U.S. economic and trade teams reached a new joint arrangement after consultations. He urged greater cooperation and fewer disputes to keep trade ties stable. Separately, The Wall Street Journal's Lingling Wei, citing Xinhua, reported that Xi called on the U.S. during his meeting with Trump to “adhere to the correct position of opposing Taiwan independence.” Wei interpreted the remarks as a reminder that Taiwan, not trade, was Xi's “real prize.”
