OK, not those exact words, but China's senior diplomat Wang Yi spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday

  • On the phone (hi kids, yes phones can be used for voice communication! old fashione, I know, but still).

Wang said the United States should not go "too far" in the current trade dispute between the two sides

  • On Iran, Wang said China hoped all parties will exercise restraint and act with caution to avoid escalating tensions.
  • U.S. State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement that Pompeo spoke with Wang and discussed bilateral issues and U.S. concerns about Iran, but gave no other details.
