China's Foreign Ministry Answers Questions on a Possible Shenzhen Three-Presidents Meeting and on Chips in Hong Kong
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun took two short U.S.-related questions at the regular press conference in Beijing on November 9, 2026; GSM records them together.
The first concerned a meeting. AFP asked about U.S. President Donald Trump's statement that he would likely meet the leaders of Russia and China in Shenzhen next week to discuss ending the Iran war and topics such as denuclearization, and asked whether the ministry could comment or offer details of the agenda. Guo said China maintains communication with the relevant parties on the meeting between the three presidents, and that, as for the specific question, he had no information to offer at the moment.
The second concerned chips. Reuters asked about reports that about 600,000 of NVIDIA's advanced chips are stored in Hong Kong awaiting shipment to mainland China, with Beijing withholding approval for large-scale imports despite demand from tech firms. Guo said China's position on the U.S. export of chips to China is consistent, and referred anything specific to the competent authorities. He gave the same answer when Bloomberg followed up on possible tighter U.S. tech curbs.
On both questions, the ministry offered no new facts or timetable that day: on the meeting, only that communication is maintained; on chips, only that its position is consistent, with specifics left to later announcements and the competent authorities. (Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China)
