On Sept. 24, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said China and the U.S. are
maintaining communication on arrangements for interactions between their two
leaders this year. Asked whether further China‑U.S. trade talks would take place
during the APEC finance ministers' meeting in Hong Kong in October and whether
Beijing would invite U.S. President Trump to the APEC summit in Shenzhen in
November, Guo referred the trade‑talks question to the relevant Chinese
authorities and did not confirm any invitation or meeting.
