China’s legislature signaled a desire for steady relations with the US as the countries prepare for a planned summit between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump in coming weeks.
Lou Qinjian, spokesman for the National People’s Congress, told reporters Wednesday that “head of state diplomacy” remains the “irreplaceable” driver of bilateral ties. He noted both leaders have maintained regular communication since last year.
