U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated U.S. support of the One-China policy in a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this month. The two leaders stressed the importance of a strong and stable relationship between China and the U.S.
For the view from Beijing and from Washington, CGTN’s Wang Tongxuan and Nathan King report.
After that “cordial” phone call, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met in Germany this week. This marks the highest level meeting by official of the two governments since Trump took office.

Strengthening cooperation between the two sides is necessary for global stability, and for the expectations of people from the two countries and the world.”
