Avoiding restrictive commercial measures asked US President Donald Trump The Chinese President Si Jing In a telephone conversation on Friday (19.9.25), according to the Xinhua news agency, as the two leaders seek to mitigate tensions among the world’s largest economies.
Specifically, Xi Jinping also told Donald Trump that the Chinese government respects business wishes as they seek to finalize an agreement on the sale of US social networking activities by Bytedance Ltd. And he would like to see these companies find a solution on the issue, according to Xinhua’s announcement, according to Bloomberg.
The official Chinese News Agency described the talks as positive and realistic, and said Si said that Washington and Beijing could handle the issues that arise between countries, while suggesting the US to offer a fair environment for business companies.
Friday’s teleconference, which had many stakes, was the first debate among the leaders since June. The future of Tiktok and a possible extension of a current trade agreement, which lifts some duties and limitations to exports, were high on the agenda, with China and the US in conflict over commercial restrictions that trap basic sectors such as semiconductors and rare land.
In addition to Tiktok, the two countries also disagree with access to the NVIDIA Corp. in China, which is currently hampered by US export controls and China’s efforts to limit local demand for its products. The United States added 32 companies to their entity list in early September and China responded with new US chip surveys.
The telephone communication was also carried out in the context of the continued tension on China’s ambitions to Taiwan, the economic links with Russia despite the war in Ukraine, and the production and export of precursors of chemicals used for the manufacture of Fentanyl.
