China hoped to maintain “stable and predictable” trade ties with the United States, Premier Li Qiang told visiting US Senator Steve Daines on Thursday, a week ahead of a highly anticipated presidential summit between the two countries.
Meeting Daines at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Li called for both sides to engage in more dialogue rather than confrontation, pursue more mutually beneficial cooperation rather than zero-sum games, and maintain stable economic and trade ties.
“It serves the fundamental interests of both countries,” he noted.
Daines, a Republican from Montana and close Trump ally, is leading a five-member delegation of US senators visiting Shanghai and Beijing ahead of US President Donald Trump’s rescheduled trip to China next week.
