Beijing and Washington maintained high-level contact with a call on Thursday between U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and China's Executive Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, signaling ongoing communication following their recent trade truce.
According to the U.S. State Department, the two officials "discussed a wide range of issues of mutual interest" and "exchanged thoughts on crucial issues," though no specifics were provided.
Both sides underscored the importance of the bilateral relationship and agreed to keep lines of communication open. The call comes amid renewed tensions despite the recent easing of tariffs after a meeting in Switzerland.
China pushed back against a U.S. warning for companies to avoid Chinese-made AI chips, especially those from Huawei, with the Ministry of Commerce condemning the move as "unilateral bullying" and accusing the U.S. of sabotaging trade negotiations.
