During several rounds of high-level talks between China and the United States over the weekend, Beijing asked Washington to faithfully fulfill its pledge to not support "Taiwan independence" and to properly perceive China's development.
President Xi Jinping has expressed the hope that more young people from China and the United States can get to know each other, work together and become a new generation of envoys for bilateral friendship to continuously inject impetus into the development of China-U.S. relations.
The Taiwan question is at the core of the core interests of China, the bedrock of the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-U.S. relations.
President Xi noted that Dr. Kissinger has recently celebrated his 100th birthday and has paid more than 100 visits to China over the years. These two 100s give this visit special significance.
Kissinger has made nearly 100 visits to China since his first secret trip to Beijing in 1971, when he was assistant for national security affairs to then U.S. president Richard Nixon.
