BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) — Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao met with Apple CEO Tim Cook in Beijing on Thursday, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.

During the meeting, the parties exchanged views on issues related to trade and economic relations between China and the United States, the development of Apple's business in China, and other topics.

Wang Wentao noted that, under the strategic leadership of the heads of China and the United States, four rounds of negotiations have been held between the trade and economic teams of the two countries since May of this year, aimed at stabilizing bilateral trade and economic ties.

The recent fluctuations in bilateral trade and economic relations were mainly caused by the United States' intensive introduction of a series of restrictive measures against China after the September talks in Madrid, which seriously damaged the country's interests and undermined the atmosphere of trade and economic negotiations, Wang Wentao emphasized.

The Minister expressed hope that the United States will work together with China to find solutions to problems through equal dialogue and consultations, guided by the important consensus reached during the telephone conversation between the heads of state of the two countries, and to ensure a more stable and predictable environment for cooperation between enterprises of both countries.

The minister added that the Chinese government is committed to greater openness and continuous improvement of the business climate so that foreign enterprises can share China's development opportunities. In this regard, he welcomed Apple's continued deepening cooperation with China and increased investment in the Chinese economy.

Apple will continue to deepen its presence in China and actively participate in its high-quality development processes, T. Cook stated in turn.

Favorable trade and economic relations between the United States and China are of great importance not only for both countries, but also for the stability and development of the global economy, the entrepreneur noted, adding that Apple is ready to make a positive contribution to promoting mutually beneficial cooperation between the United States and China.

On October 13, Yang Xuedong, a professor at the Department of Political Science at Tsinghua University, published an article in the Huanqiu Shibao newspaper in which he analyzed how the Five-Year Plans became China's strategic driver.

China began formulating five-year plans in 1953, and to date has developed and implemented 14 five-year plans (programs), with the 15th Five-Year Plan to be developed this year. The scientific formulation and consistent implementation of five-year plans represent an important experience for the CPC in public administration and a significant political advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The development and implementation of five-year programs fully reflects the ruling party's commitment to scientific, democratic, and legal principles of governance, as well as its ability to consolidate shared aspirations and foster unity of action. At the same time, this demonstrates the continuity, stability, and predictability of the Chinese system.

As a socialist country, China has always regarded the comprehensive and balanced development of the economy and society as the fundamental principle and goal of its development. Only in this way can the fruits of development be shared with the broad masses and conditions for free and comprehensive human development be created.

China is a large country with a late modernization record. Achieving catch-up development requires clear goals, rational planning, and targeted resource allocation. This allows it to fully recognize and utilize the advantages of its late start in the global development landscape.

Five-year programs always focus on key projects, objectives, and core strategies, seeking to address critical issues that hinder the balanced development of the country's economy.

It is particularly important that, as a large party with a long history of power, the Communist Party of China has learned to effectively use Five-Year Plans to govern this vast and dynamically developing country. In China, the continuous development, constant improvement, and effective implementation of Five-Year Plans are determined by the conscious efforts and high capacity of the ruling party.

China's Five-Year Plans are the product of the collective wisdom of the entire nation. They contain a precise vision of future development, objective expectations for achieving goals, and a rational roadmap for their implementation. This reflects the ruling party's ability to accurately understand and effectively respond to changes in China, the world, and our era.

China is currently beginning to develop its 15th Five-Year Plan. Party committees and governments at all levels are actively collecting proposals through discussions, research, and public input. These approaches allow for effective problem identification, the assimilation of new experiences, greater focus and practicality in planning, and the achievement of public consensus.

Moscow, October 16 (Xinhua) — Representatives of Russia and the United States will immediately begin preparations for a new meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The summit could take place, for example, in Budapest. This was announced to reporters by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov on Thursday.

"The presidents discussed the possibility of holding another in-person meeting. This is truly a very important moment. It was agreed that representatives of the two countries will immediately begin preparing for a summit, which could be held, for example, in Budapest," said Yury Ushakov after the telephone conversation between the Russian and US presidents.

According to him, the telephone conversation, which lasted approximately two and a half hours, took place at the initiative of the Russian side. The conversation was substantive and extremely frank.

As Yuri Ushakov noted, D. Trump suggested Budapest as a possible location for the summit, and V. Putin supported this idea.

The Russian leader's aide also reported that the presidents discussed the possible supply of Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv by Washington. Vladimir Putin noted that supplying the Kyiv regime with American Tomahawk missiles would damage relations between Russia and the United States, as well as the peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict. Russian troops retain full strategic initiative along the entire line of contact, the Russian president emphasized.

"Donald Trump repeatedly emphasized the need for a swift peace in Ukraine. The idea that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has proven the most difficult to resolve in all of the US President's peacemaking efforts was evident in his statements throughout the entire conversation," said Yuri Ushakov.

The current conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump was the eighth since the beginning of the year. The previous conversation took place almost two months ago, a few days after the Russian-American summit in Alaska, USA.
