During a phone call with Donald Trump, Xi Jinping noted that he places particular emphasis on Sino-American relations.

Both the United States and China have their own concerns, he said.
China never allows words to differ from deeds and always fulfills its promises, Xi Jinping continued, noting that if the parties adhere to equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit, and move towards each other, they will be able to find ways to resolve mutual concerns.
The Chinese President recalled that both China and the United States have important domestic events planned this year: China is entering the initial stage of implementing the 15th Five-Year Plan, and the United States is preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the country.
The Chinese leader added that an informal meeting of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation economic leaders will be held in China, and a G20 summit will be held in the United States.
Xi Jinping said the two sides should follow the consensus reached, strengthen dialogue and communication, properly resolve differences, and expand practical cooperation.
It is always right to do good deeds and wrong to do bad deeds, no matter how small, the Chinese President stressed, calling on the two sides to move forward step by step, continuously build mutual trust and follow the right path of coexistence, so as to make 2026 a year when the two major countries – China and the US – move toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
Xi Jinping stated that the Taiwan question is the most important issue in Sino-American relations. Taiwan is Chinese territory, China must safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will never allow Taiwan to secede, the Chinese leader emphasized.
He added that the United States should approach the issue of arms sales to Taiwan with caution.
D. Trump, for his part, stated that the United States and China are great powers, and that US-China relations are the most important in the world today.
The American leader noted that he has an excellent relationship with Xi Jinping and holds him in high regard. According to Donald Trump, under their leadership, the US and China are interacting positively in areas such as economics and trade.
Stressing his desire to see China succeed, Trump indicated that the United States is prepared to strengthen cooperation with China and achieve further progress in bilateral relations. The US President also noted that he is paying particular attention to China's concerns regarding the Taiwan issue.
He expressed his willingness to maintain communication with the Chinese side and hoped that the two sides would maintain good relations between the United States and China throughout his presidential term.
