Storyline Chinese President Xi Jinping holds meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at White House President Xi Jinping said the heads of state of China and the United States have made reciprocal visits in less than half a year, which was unprecedented in the history of China-US relations. He and President Trump have been maintaining communication through various means and jointly steering the ship of China-US relations. In May this year, he and President Trump decided to establish a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability. President Xi said this new positioning reflects the reality of China-US relations and also expresses expectations for the future. It is an important step towards the correct way for the two countries to get along. He said China and the US should turn this vision into action and strive towards a direction of cooperation as the mainstay, with moderate competition, manageable differences, and promises of peace. He said China and the United States should also be able to fully cooperate in practical cooperation, achieve mutual benefit through benign competition, resolve divergences through seeking common ground while reserving differences, and build peace through accumulating mutual trust, so that their constructive relationship of strategic stability can better benefit the people of both countries and the people of the world. President Xi Jinping emphasized that the economic and trade teams of both sides held a new round of consultations and reached a new joint arrangement, which is good news for the industries and people of both countries, and the global economy. He said cooperation is a two-way street. The stability of China-US economic and trade relations requires not only extending the list of cooperation but also reducing the list of problems. He said as long as the two sides uphold the spirit of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, they can find a way to solve the problems. President Xi expressed hope that both sides will move towards each other, adhere to the orientation of mutual benefit and win-win results, and promote the continuous and stable development of China-US economic and trade relations. President Xi said that while China and the United States compete in artificial intelligence, they have even more reasons to cooperate. He noted that as both major countries in AI, the two sides should leverage their respective strengths in AI rather than guarding against each other. Both sides can continue to have dialogues on AI, exchanging views on its risks and benefits, and jointly prevent its misuse and abuse. He said it is necessary to maintain human control over AI technology and adhere to the principles of people-oriented and upward and virtuous development, so that AI can serve human progress. President Xi Jinping emphasized that China's position on safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity is very clear. He said he hopes the US will stick to the correct stance of opposing "Taiwan independence" and handle the Taiwan Question with caution, so as to lay a solid foundation for the strategic cooperation between China and the US and the development of bilateral relations.
