Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit will be the first visit to Canada by a Chinese foreign minister at the invitation of the Canadian side in 10 years, and is of great significance for consolidating the positive momentum in China-Canada relations, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday in response to a media inquiry on the background, main activities and China's expectations regarding Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Canada.
Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Friday that at the invitation of Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Canada from May 28 to 30.
Guo said that at present, China-Canada relations have achieved a turnaround and continue to develop in a positive direction. The two sides are working to build a new type of strategic partnership.
During the visit, Foreign Minister Wang will have in-depth exchanges with the Canadian side on advancing the implementation of the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and the outcomes of Prime Minister Carney's visit to China in January, promoting the building of a truly productive new type of China-Canada strategic partnership, as well as international and regional issues of common concern, Guo said.
China looks forward to using this visit to enhance political mutual trust with Canada, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, properly manage differences, and continue to move China-Canada relations forward on a healthy, stable and sustainable track, so as to better benefit the two peoples, said the spokesperson.
In light of last week's visit to China by US President Donald Trump and the upcoming visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, when asked about the considerations behind the visits and what message China hopes to convey to the world through this series of diplomatic activities, said on Tuesday that China welcomes President Putin's state visit to China.
China and Russia are comprehensive strategic partners of coordination for a new era. During President Putin's visit, the two heads of state will exchange views on bilateral cooperation in various fields and on international and regional issues of mutual interest, Guo said.
Guo added that China has already released information regarding the visit by the US president.
Regarding cross-Straits ties related contents in Taiwan regional leader Lai Ching-te's May 20 speech and media briefing, Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said on Wednesday that Lai’s speech is rife with lies and deception, hostility and confrontation.
Stubbornly clinging to the erroneous stance of “Taiwan independence”, he peddles fallacies such as so called “sovereign independence” and “mutual non subordination”, hypes up the “mainland threat”, escalates cross Straits confrontation, and deliberately pursues “Taiwan independence through military means” and “relying on external forces for separatist gains,” undermining peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.
This once again confirms that he is nothing short of a saboteur of cross Straits peace and a creator of crises in the Taiwan Straits, Chen said.
While continuing to advocate “Taiwan independence” separatism and manipulate anti mainland sentiments, he hypocritically claims to promote cross Straits dialogue and exchanges, attempting to mislead public in Taiwan and deceive international public opinion. These habitual tricks have been seen through by a growing number of Taiwan people, Chen said.
“His deceptive and provocative acts are bound to meet firm opposition from compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and the international community, and are doomed to failure,” Chen added.
Taiwan is China’s Taiwan and has never been a country — not in the past, and will never be one in the future. The Taiwan question is a leftover issue from China’s civil war in the 1940s. No matter how elections are held or who is elected in the Taiwan region after 1949, none can change Taiwan’s status as an inalienable part of China, sever the historical and legal bond that both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one China, or break the iron clad rule that the future of Taiwan can only be decided by all Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, Chen added.
Safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the unwavering will of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. “We will never allow any individual or force to pursue separatist schemes for ‘Taiwan independence’ under any pretext,” Chen said.
The spokesperson added that "Taiwan independence" and cross-Straits peace are irreconcilable as fire and water, and is the chief culprit undermining cross Straits peace and stability.
“We will uphold the one China principle and the 1992 Consensus, extensively unite Taiwan compatriots, resolutely combat ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities, and safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. The irresistible tide of the motherland’s eventual and inevitable reunification surges forward relentlessly,” Chen said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump had a private meeting on Friday in the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in central Beijing.
The meeting came before Trump concluded his state visit to China and a day after the two leaders held formal talks.
Upon Trump's arrival at Zhongnanhai, Xi warmly welcomed him. The two heads of state walked and talked, occasionally stopping to admire the trees and flowers in the garden.
Noting that Trump's visit was a historic and landmark one, Xi said the two sides had set the new vision of building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability.
"We had reached important common understandings on maintaining stable economic and trade ties, expanding practical cooperation in various fields, and properly addressing each other's concerns," Xi said.
The two sides also agreed to strengthen communication and coordination on international and regional issues, according to Xi.
The visit is conducive to enhancing mutual understanding, deepening mutual trust and improving the well-being of the two peoples, Xi said.
This once again demonstrates that it is a shared aspiration of both peoples and the expectation of people across the world for China and the United States to find a right path to get along with each other and to achieve peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, Xi added.
"While President Trump hopes to make America great again, I am dedicated to leading the Chinese people toward national rejuvenation," Xi said, stressing that the two countries can advance their respective development and revitalization by strengthening cooperation.
China and the United States should implement the important common understandings that have been reached, cherish the hard-won positive momentum, keep to the right direction, steer clear of disruptions, and promote the steady development of bilateral relations, Xi said.
Trump said that he is very grateful to Xi for inviting him to visit Zhongnanhai, adding that his China visit was very successful, captured the world's attention and was unforgettable.
Trump said that the two sides had reached a series of important common understandings, signed a number of agreements, and resolved many problems, which were very beneficial to both countries and the world.
Noting that Xi is his old friend, Trump said that he has great respect for Xi and that they have established a good relationship. The US-China relationship is very important and will definitely get better, he said.
Trump said that he is willing to continue to maintain sincere and in-depth communication with Xi, and warmly looks forward to hosting Xi in Washington, D.C.
The two sides also exchanged views on some regional hotspot issues.
When asked to comment on Paraguayan President Santiago Pena's visit to the Taiwan region, Zhang Han, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday that one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a prevailing consensus of the international community.
A total of 183 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle, Zhang said, urging relevant countries to make the correct choice in line with the historical trend.
The DPP authorities' pursuit of "Taiwan independence" and provocations run counter to the trend of history and their complete failure is only a matter of time, Zhang said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with visiting US President Donald Trump at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday.
Transformation not seen in a century is accelerating across the globe, and the international situation is fluid and turbulent, said Xi.
"Can China and the United States overcome the Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major-country relations? Can we meet global challenges together and provide greater stability for the world? Can we build a bright future together for our bilateral relations in the interest of the well-being of the two peoples and the future of humanity? These are the questions vital to history, to the world and to the people," said Xi.
They are the questions of the times that the leaders of major countries need to answer together, he added.
"I look forward to working together with you to set the course and steer the giant ship of China-US relations, so as to make 2026 a historic, landmark year that opens up a new chapter in China-US relations," he said.
"I have agreed with President Trump on a new vision of building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability," Xi said.
The new vision will provide strategic guidance for bilateral relations over the next three years and beyond, and should be welcomed by the people of both countries as well as the international community, he said.
The "constructive strategic stability" should be a positive stability with cooperation as the mainstay, a sound stability with moderate competition, a constant stability with manageable differences, and an enduring stability with promises of peace, Xi said.
The building of a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability should not be a mere slogan, but concrete action taken by both sides toward the same goal, he added.
China-US economic ties are mutually beneficial and win-win in nature, said Xi. "Where disagreements and frictions exist, equal-footed consultation is the only right choice," he said.
Xi revealed that the economic and trade teams of the two countries produced "generally balanced and positive outcomes" in the latest round of bilateral trade talks on Wednesday.
"This is good news for the people of the two countries and the world," he said, calling on the two sides to sustain the good momentum that they have worked hard to create.
Noting that China will only open its door wider, Xi said American companies are deeply involved in China's reform and opening up, and the US side is welcome to enhance mutually beneficial cooperation.
"The two sides should implement the important consensus we have reached, and make better use of communication channels in the political, diplomatic and military-to-military fields," Xi said.
The two countries should also expand exchanges and cooperation in areas such as the economy and trade, health, agriculture, tourism, people-to-people ties and law enforcement, he added.
Regarding the Taiwan question, Xi stressed that it is the most important issue in China-US relations.
If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy, Xi said, urging the US side to exercise extra caution in handling the Taiwan question.
Safeguarding cross-Strait peace and stability is the biggest common denominator between China and the United States, Xi said, emphasizing that "Taiwan independence" and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water.
China and France, as permanent members of the UN Security Council and major independent countries, shoulder important responsibilities for upholding international peace, stability and development, China's top diplomat Wang Yi said on Friday.
Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, made the remarks when holding talks with Emmanuel Bonne, diplomatic adviser to the French president, in Beijing.
Noting that the strategic guidance of the two heads of state reflects the high level and special nature of bilateral relations, Wang said China stands ready to work with France to achieve greater progress in China-France cooperation and deliver more benefits to the two peoples.
China values the recent passage by the French Parliament of a bill to ease the return of colonial-era looted artifacts, and is ready to strengthen cooperation with France in this regard to enhance people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and mutual learning between civilizations, Wang said.
Against the backdrop of growing turmoil in today's world, it is necessary for both countries to strengthen strategic communication and coordination, jointly address global challenges, and advance the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership to achieve sound and steady development free from various types of interference, Wang said.
He stressed that the foundation of China-France relations lies in solid political mutual trust, and the key is mutual respect for each other's core interests. He expressed the hope that France will abide by the one-China principle in practice, refrain from any form of official interaction with Taiwan authorities, and not send any wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
Indicating that China and Europe are always partners, not rivals, Wang said it is hoped that France will play a positive and constructive role in encouraging the EU to adopt a correct and rational perception of China and pursue a practical and open economic and trade policy toward China.
Bonne said France highly values the long-standing friendship and mutual trust between the two heads of state, adding that France fully understands the importance and sensitivity of the Taiwan question, adheres to the one-China policy, and will not change its position on this issue.
France looks forward to working closely with China to find constructive solutions to global crises, he said, adding that given the current international situation, it is crucial to maintain dialogue and cooperation between Europe and China.
Noting that the EU needs China and hopes to be mutually reliable partners with China, Bonne added that France is ready to play an active role in promoting EU-China dialogue and cooperation.
The two sides also had in-depth exchanges of views on issues of common concern, including global economic governance and the situation in the Middle East.
The chief engineer of China's domestically developed unmanned transport system HH-200 said on Sunday that the aircraft is not a remotely controlled plane, but features advanced, high-safety autonomous flight capabilities. It is expected to obtain its type certificate by 2027 and may enter commercial operation in late 2027.
In an interview with the state broadcaster CCTV News, chief designer Dong Jianhong disclosed some details about the HH-200 aircraft. The model has no cockpit, eliminating systems required for piloted aircraft such as manual control and life-support. It is currently powered by diesel, while multi-energy and new-energy variants are being developed simultaneously. With full unmanned operation, its overall cost is about one-third that of manned aircraft, said Dong.
Dong noted that the cargo system adopts a fully enclosed, windowless design, equipped with rail systems, electronic locking and cargo release systems, enabling both rapid ground loading and unloading as well as aerial delivery. Its low-profile aerodynamic configuration reduces drag and improves cruising efficiency, while graded application of multi-specification composite materials precisely balances performance, safety and weight reduction.
"The HH-200 is not a remotely controlled aircraft, it is an aircraft capable of autonomous flight," said Dong, noting that it flies autonomously, with remote control functions used only for temporary command adjustment. Its core breakthrough lies in advanced, high-safety autonomous flight capability.
Based on human pilot experience, the aircraft integrates humanoid intelligence, equipped with environmental perception and flight management systems. It incorporates more than 100 pre-set risk prevention modes, combined with ground-based safety control to ensure flight safety. In case of loss of control, it is capable of safe-zone emergency landing or self-destruction procedures, Dong noted.
The chief engineer said that during a test flights in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the aircraft encountered extreme weather such as sudden thunderstorms and hail, successfully completing emergency avoidance and response procedures.
On April 15 this year, The HH-200 completed maiden flight in Weinan, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province. The flight lasted 22 minutes and fulfilled all pre-set test goals, marking a major breakthrough in China's large-scale commercial unmanned transport equipment sector, the CCTV News reported.
The HH-200 has a standard cargo hold volume of 12 cubic meters, expandable to 18 cubic meters, with a maximum payload of 1.5 tons, a top cruising speed of 310 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 2,360 kilometers, according to a statement from Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) to the Global Times. 超链：https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202604/1358958.shtml
The HH-200 mainly serves China's border and coastal regions as well as cross-border feeder freight routes, inland point-to-point cargo logistics, inter-island transport in Southeast Asia, and air cargo networks across countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. In the future, it can be adapted for multiple missions, including emergency rescue, forest firefighting, weather modification, aerial remote sensing, and agricultural and forestry protection.
"My team has given it [HH-200] a nickname — 'flying truck,' which means it can operate continuously along transport routes just like trucks on the ground," said Dong.
