When asked about U.S. President Trump’s statement that he would cancel his visit to Beijing if China does not assist with escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that top-level diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic role in China-U.S. relations, and both sides are maintaining communication regarding Trump’s visit to China.
