US Ambassador to China, David Perdue, shared an optimistic outlook on US-China ties during a closed-door speech in Hong Kong, sources said.
Perdue said the risks in Sino-US relations had been effectively controlled and the broader bilateral relationship had "improved multidimensionally" since Chinese President Xi Jinping met US President Donald Trump in Busan, South Korea, in October, according to three participants at the event who declined to be named.
Perdue confirmed that both sides had completed most of the agreements made in Busan and he expressed optimism regarding the current trade truce, specifically noting progress on fentanyl precursors and soybean purchases, they said.
Perdue, 75, who served as a Republican senator for Georgia from 2015 to 2021, is a well-known longtime supporter and close political ally of Trump.
