On the same day, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao met with
@Apple CEO Tim Cook in Beijing. Wang said recent fluctuations in bilateral economic and trade relations have been caused mainly by the US side’s intensive rollout of new, restrictive measures targeting China following September talks in Madrid. China hopes that the US will work with China, guided by the important consensus reached between the two heads of state during phone calls, to find solutions through equal dialogue and consultation, and provide a more stable, predictable environment for enterprises from both countries to cooperate.
The Chinese government will steadfastly pursue high-level opening-up and keep improving the business environment, enabling foreign enterprises to share in China's development opportunities.
