MANILA: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he discussed with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday (Jul 22) the need to identify areas of cooperation to lay the groundwork for a "very positive visit" to Washington in September by President Xi Jinping.

Meeting with Wang in Manila on the sidelines of a regional gathering led by Southeast Asian bloc ASEAN, Rubio said both sides had differences, but their job was to manage them and ensure they do not get out of control.

"The work we need to do now in September is to identify what those areas are, so that we can lay the groundwork for a very positive visit ... we talked a lot about that," he told reporters.

We'll have to work through those, and I think these differences will exist for the foreseeable future."

Useful context, not penalties

Attributed claims Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.
Uncertainty qualifiers Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.
Attributed framing cues Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.

What this grade does and does not mean

This grade evaluates wording and reader-steering cues, not factual accuracy.
