Zhang Tengjun, Deputy Director of the US Research Institute of the China Institute of International Studies, stated, "Since Trump returned to the White House, there has been a relative lack of high-level exchanges between China and the United States." Under the current background of Sino-US relations, "strengthening high-level exchanges to avoid strategic misunderstandings and misjudgments is particularly necessary." At the same time, he emphasized that the important purpose of the meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries is also the primary purpose, which is how to implement the consensus reached in the phone call between the two country's leaders into specific policies and actions.
