China has released details of agreements made during last week's talks between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, confirming a new AI dialogue and an extension of the trade truce.
Beijing announced an agreement with Washington to launch a new AI dialogue, with additional discussions planned for the end of November. Both nations also intend to establish a communication channel for AI-related incidents to prevent misunderstandings.
Chinese state media confirmed the trade truce has been extended until January 10. This extension includes lower US tariffs on $30bn (£23bn) of Chinese goods, with reciprocal reductions expected from Beijing. The Trump administration also stated Beijing would purchase at least 10 million metric tons of coal annually in 2027 and 2028.
China also indicated it would permit more foreign financial firms, including American-backed banks, investment companies, and insurers, to apply to conduct business and open offices in China, though approvals will remain subject to Chinese laws.
Despite these agreements, the summit did not yield joint statements or major breakthroughs on more contentious issues, such as restrictions on advanced US semiconductors or the status of Taiwan. The White House factsheet did not mention Taiwan, though Beijing's accounts stated Xi urged Trump to formally oppose Taiwan independence.
