This series of developments has filled the world with speculation, what kind of information is hidden behind China's high-level contacts with Europe.
This series of events began with the Sino-US Foreign Ministers' Meeting, and the two sides reached a five-point consensus, including jointly promoting the practical implementation of the leaders' consensus, deepening high-level exchanges, conducting consultations on specific issues, and strengthening people-to-people exchanges. The achievement of these consensuses shows that both China and the United States are willing to seek common ground in the management of differences and risk reduction in order to maintain the stability of the overall relationship between the two countries.
