China's Foreign Ministry: Beijing and Washington in Close Contact on Leaders' Interactions, Ready to Implement Presidents' Consensus
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press briefing in Beijing on November 12. Asked whether China is concerned that the Nvidia Jensen Huang affair could affect China-U.S. relations and a meeting between the two countries' leaders, and how Beijing would respond if Washington used the episode to tighten technology export restrictions on China, Mao said China and the United States remain in close communication regarding interactions between the two heads of state.
Mao said China is ready to work with the United States to implement the important consensus reached by the two presidents and to advance a constructive relationship of strategic stability based on respect, fairness and reciprocity. She did not confirm any specific arrangement for a leaders' meeting.
On technology restrictions, Mao said China has already made its position clear on the so-called Chinese espionage narrative: China's scientific and technological progress relies on independent innovation and open cooperation, and the United States should stop fabricating the so-called spy narrative as a pretext for imposing technology restrictions.
At the same briefing, Mao also responded to a question about whether Megaspeed executive Alice Huang is now in Beijing, saying she was not aware of the situation mentioned. On November 9, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun had already said of the same affair that the so-called Chinese spy allegation is purely unsubstantiated and a smear against China.
