As leaders prepare for the upcoming APEC Leaders’ Meeting, the leaders of the Chinese mainland and the United States are keeping communication channels wide open. This ongoing dialogue underscores how high-level conversations can set the stage for global economic and tech priorities.
During a press briefing on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun highlighted the irreplaceable role of head-of-state diplomacy in providing strategic guidance for bilateral ties. He noted that both leaders remain in regular contact, signaling stability amid complex global dynamics.
On TikTok-related issues, Guo reiterated that the Chinese government respects corporate autonomy and supports negotiations based on market rules. He emphasized the goal of finding solutions that comply with Chinese laws and regulations while balancing the interests of all parties.
“We hope the U.S. will provide an open, fair, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises investing in the United States,” Guo added, pointing to the need for mutual trust and clear guidelines.
With eyes on APEC, these diplomatic signals offer a data point in how two of the world’s largest economies manage cooperation and competition, shaping policies that resonate from boardrooms to social media feeds around the globe.
