Xi Jinping and Trump Finally Speak on the Phone, Stress Taiwan Issue

According to reports from Chinese media Xinhua, Chinese President Xi Jinping officially spoke on the phone with U.S. President Donald Trump on the night of June 5, after waiting for five months. Xi emphasized that correcting the course of U.S.-China relations requires both sides to work together, especially to eliminate disruptions.

Xi noted that the recent talks in Geneva marked an important step towards solving economic issues through dialogue and cooperation, which is the only correct choice. Both sides should respect each other's concerns to achieve win-win results.

Reiterating the Chinese commitment to actions following words, Xi stated that the U.S. should realistically view the progress made and retract any negative measures against China. He stressed the need for careful handling of Taiwan issues to avoid conflicts dragged by a minority of 'Taiwan independence' separatists.

Trump expressed his great respect for President Xi and recognized the importance of U.S.-China relations, welcoming China's strong economic growth and looking forward to continued cooperation.
