BEIJING, Jan 20, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Beijing confirmed on Tuesday that China had been invited to join US President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace". "China has received the United States' invitation," foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told a regular news briefing, without specifying whether Beijing would accept the invitation. Guo said China-US relations had achieved overall stability in the past year, despite a trade war that saw both countries impose tit-for-tat tariffs on each others' products. "Over the past year, China-US relations have experienced ups and downs, but have maintained overall dynamic stability," Guo told reporters. "Cooperation between China and the US benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both," he added.
