U.S. Senators Call for Stability Before High-Stakes Beijing Meeting

A U.S. senatorial delegation urges peaceful co-operation with China before an upcoming summit in Beijing. Senators aim to ease tensions and encourage trade talks, including Boeing orders. The meeting agenda includes trade issues and the sensitive Taiwan question, vital for maintaining U.S.-China relations.

A delegation of U.S. senators visiting Beijing has urged for stability and peaceful cooperation between the world's two largest economies, a week before the crucial meeting of their leaders.

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to travel to Beijing on May 14 and 15 to meet President Xi Jinping. The delegation, led by Senator Steve Daines, emphasized de-escalation over decoupling and mutual respect in talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

Senator Daines expressed hope that the summit would lead to Boeing jet orders, despite ongoing trade issues. Both sides have maintained diplomatic channels for the upcoming visit, marking continued stable relations since easing trade tensions last October.
