a partner and friend with the united states. you as well. i'm at 40, i will send a mental principles in handling chinese us relations, mutual respect, so peaceful coexistence cooking, and when, when cooperation was off on the fact that she and by didn't matter, told, is being held to success, whether relations between china and the us actually improve will be down to them and we asked our list, gabby, and customer in beijing, whether this meeting was a success from the chinese perspective. yeah, from the chinese site um the talks were framed very positively. on the one hand, you can argue, yeah, the chinese side has an incentive to a frame. them positivity of to all the lead um was flying all the way to san francisco. and you know, there was a lot of preparation going into the summit. so it, what's expected that, you know, this at least would have some results, but i would say the rhetoric that goes well beyond that. um,

just after the talks um, 40 minutes, the one you went to the press and stated publicly that the talks went quote unquote, very well and even seating things, rhetoric was i would say very accommodating. and he said that china is um, willing to be a pot and a friend of the u. s. i mean, this is some graduate that we have not heard in quite a long time. and also, if you look at it objectively, i mean, there were some concrete results in terms of, you know, pinto, no traffic, king china, a promise to correct on, on that. and, you know, human to human exchanges will be increased. there will be some a i regulation talks a joint cooperation um when it comes to the time it talks, etc. so i would say i'm those some, it was quite a constructive and was also frank, very positive feet by the chinese side of fabia. and there are a lot of issues. meantime were china and the united states do not see ida i namely taiwan, gaza, ukraine, just to name a few. was there any progress there or no,

not at all. i mean the major conflicts. i don't see any. you have room for compromise them to the positions this are really a lot when it comes to taiwan. yeah. i would say a seating things. rhetoric was not as strong as before. i mean, he didn't issue a military for it, but he also made you aware of the red line is and that is the independence of taiwan. and he also want the u. s. of not selling any to taiwan, but also when it comes to, um, gaza and also ukraine. um, the chinese side did not, you know, even mentioned them in the, in their hands out. and also when you know, later on in the minister of foreign affairs, the spokes person was you know, asked to clarify if they were any progress on those issues. she basically, um, just repeated the stance of china and it has not changed. so i would say in those major issues, there was not really a substantial change by the chinese type,
