On March 18, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin hosted a routine press conference.

A Reuters reporter asked whether China approves of the new schedule after U.S. President Trump confirmed the postponement of his visit to China, stating that the meeting with the Chinese side will take place in about five to six weeks. He mentioned that China has accepted this arrangement. Does China agree with this timeline? Additionally, given that this delay provides more time for both sides to prepare for a summit, will China use this opportunity to promote more substantive discussions between the leaders during the meeting?

In response, Wang Wenbin said, “Head of state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic leading role in China-U.S. relations. Both sides will continue to communicate regarding President Trump’s visit to China.”
