The Taiwan issue is a matter that, if one moves, the whole thing shakes. We hope the United States will handle Taiwan-related affairs with caution and more caution.

Wang highlighted the consensus reached by Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump during their meeting on May 13, emphasizing the need to build a "constructive strategic stable relationship." He stated that this agreement provides strategic guidance for China-U.S. relations for the next three years and beyond. Wang stressed that fostering such a relationship aligns with the will of both peoples and the expectations of the international community.

He urged both sides to overcome obstacles and move forward in the right direction, adhering to principles of equality, respect, and mutual benefit. Wang further stated that the consensus should be translated into concrete policies and actions, emphasizing that building a stable relationship requires sustained effort and commitment, not just rhetoric. He proposed increasing cooperation in areas like trade and diplomacy while managing and controlling risks by reducing points of conflict.

Building a constructive strategic stable relationship is the will of the two peoples and the expectation of the international community, and it is in line with the fundamental interests of both China and the U.S.
