China is willing to work with the United States to enhance cooperation, and inject more stability and certainty into the world, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
Guo Jiakun, the spokesman, made the remarks at a regular press briefing in Beijing when asked to comment on U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to China.
"Head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic guiding role in China-U.S. relations. China welcomes President Trump's state visit to China. During the visit, the two heads of state will engage in an in-depth exchange of views on major issues concerning bilateral ties as well as world peace and development. China is willing to work with the U.S. in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit to expand cooperation and manage differences, to inject more stability into a turbulent world,” he said.
At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump will pay a state visit to China from May 13 to 15.
Xi and Trump met last time in October 2025 in Busan, the Republic of Korea.
Over the years, head-of-state diplomacy has anchored China-U.S. relations, serving as a stabilizing force amid shifting global currents. Since Trump's re-election, Xi has spoken with him by phone five times, maintaining close communication on bilateral ties and geopolitical issues.
