China Says It Is Willing to Work With US on Leaders’ Consensus

This is diplomatic boilerplate rather than a substantive policy signal, but the framing matters: Beijing is publicly separating the US midterms from the bilateral relationship and reaffirming the leaders' consensus as the anchor. That language is aimed at keeping channels open through a period of US political uncertainty, and it matters most for sectors exposed to China-US friction — trade, tech supply chains, and the regulatory tone around cross-border activity. The open question is whether the stated willingness to "properly handle differences" translates into concrete engagement once the US political picture settles.
