China says ties with US remain stable ahead of Trump visit despite ‘disruptions’

China's top diplomat has said that ties with the US have been in general stable despite “many twists and disruptions," and called on both countries to find a way to contribute to global peace, a week before President Donald Trump is expected to visit. “Over the past year, China-U.S. relations have gone through many twists and disruptions, but we have still managed to maintain overall stability," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
