在年底即将举行的两国领导人峰会之前，中国似乎正在努力改善与美国的关系。
China appeared to move towards improving ties with the US ahead of two summits between the superpowers’ leaders due to be held by year end.
据《金融时报》报道，亚太经合组织（APEC）的成员们表示担忧，他们的关切问题——包括领土争端——被中国忽视了，因为中国正在考虑将APEC会议的部分内容转移到线上进行，以便优先与华盛顿进行谈判。
Members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum voiced fears that their concerns — including disputed territorial claims — were being deprioritized by China, which is exploring moving key elements of an upcoming APEC meeting online in order to prioritize talks with Washington, the Financial Times said.
虽然最近在美国举行的峰会未能取得重大突破，但两国仍在考虑在下个月深圳举行的峰会上互相进行核设施检查；过去北京一直不愿与华盛顿建立任何军控机制。
While a recent summit in the US failed to deliver significant breakthroughs, the two countries are nevertheless considering reciprocal nuclear site inspections when their leaders meet in Shenzhen next month, CNN reported; Beijing has in the past been reluctant to enter into any arms control regime with Washington. — Jeronimo Gonzalez
