4⃣The two heads of state recall that China and the U.S. were allies in World War II and fought side by side to win the war.
🇨🇳🇺🇸 #China and the #US Reach Eight Deliverables and Understandings 1⃣The two sides agree to build “a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness, and reciprocity.” 2⃣China and the United States support each other in successfully hosting the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and the G20 Summit. The two heads of state intend to attend each other’s meetings. 3⃣The two heads of state agree that Iran should honor its commitment to not developing nuclear weapons, and no country or institution can be allowed to impose tolls on international waterways. 4⃣The two heads of state recall that China and the U.S. were allies in World War II and fought side by side to win the war. 5⃣The two heads of state recognize the positive role of the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism, endorse the outcomes of the consultations between the two economic and trade teams, including establishing and taking forward the Board of Trade and other mechanisms, reaching an arrangement for a US$30 billion reciprocal tariff reduction, and the extension of the outcomes of economic and trade consultations in Kuala Lumpur, and give instructions that they be implemented. 6⃣The two sides note that cooperation between the counter-narcotics and law enforcement agencies of China and the U.S. has produced visible outcomes. Recently, the two sides working closely together have jointly cracked multiple cases involving New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) and precursor chemicals, and apprehended dozens of relevant criminal suspects in the two countries. 7⃣The two sides agree on the establishment of the China-U.S. AI Dialogue to exchange views on risks and benefits related to AI. The next exchange will occur in November 2026. China and the U.S. also agree to establish a bilateral communication channel for AI incidents. 8⃣The United States welcomes the arrival of two giant pandas, leased by China to Zoo Atlanta.
