(Central News Agency, Beijing, 14th) - The 'Xi-Trump Summit' took place this morning. Chinese President Xi Jinping stated during the meeting that he and U.S. President Trump agreed to build a 'constructive, strategic, and stable U.S.-China relationship' as the new positioning for bilateral relations, characterized by cooperation as the mainstay, managed competition, controllable differences, and the prospect of peace. He also stated that if the Taiwan issue is handled properly, the overall stability of U.S.-China relations can be maintained.
Xi Jinping held talks with Trump, who is on a state visit, in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing this morning. The talks lasted for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Xi Jinping emphasized that China is committed to the stable, healthy, and sustainable development of U.S.-China relations. He and Trump agreed to establish a 'constructive, strategic, and stable U.S.-China relationship' as the new positioning for bilateral relations, which will provide strategic guidance for U.S.-China relations for the next three years and beyond.
He said that 'constructive strategic stability' should be a positive stability based on cooperation, a benign stability with managed competition, a normal stability with controllable differences, and a lasting stability with the prospect of peace. The 'constructive, strategic, and stable U.S.-China relationship' is not a slogan, but should be actions moving in the same direction.
Xi Jinping said that the essence of U.S.-China economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win. In the face of differences and frictions, equal consultation is the only correct choice.
Before the Xi-Trump meeting, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held the 7th round of U.S.-China economic and trade consultations with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in South Korea on the 13th.
Xi Jinping told Trump today that the economic and trade teams of the two countries reached an overall balanced and positive outcome yesterday, which is good news for the people of both countries and the world. Both sides should work together to maintain the current hard-won good momentum. He declared that China's door of opening up will only open wider, and that U.S. companies are deeply involved in China's reform and opening up. China welcomes the U.S. to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with China.
He said that both sides should make further use of political, diplomatic, and military-to-military communication channels. They should expand exchanges and cooperation in areas such as economy and trade, health, agriculture, tourism, culture, and law enforcement.
Xi Jinping also mentioned Taiwan. He said, 'The Taiwan issue is the most important issue in U.S.-China relations.' If handled well, the relations between the two countries can maintain overall stability. If not handled well, the two countries will collide or even conflict, pushing the entire U.S.-China relationship into a very dangerous situation. Taiwan independence is incompatible with peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the greatest common denominator for both China and the U.S. The U.S. must handle the Taiwan issue with extreme caution.
According to the report, Trump stated that he maintains friendly communication with Xi Jinping and has resolved many important issues. He is willing to work with Xi Jinping to strengthen communication and cooperation, properly resolve differences, and open the best U.S.-China relationship in history, creating a better future for both countries.
He said that the U.S. and China are the most important and powerful countries in the world, and U.S.-China cooperation can do many great and good things for both countries and the world. On this visit, he brought outstanding representatives of the U.S. business community, who all respect and value China, and he actively encourages them to expand cooperation with China.
The report said that the two heads of state exchanged views on major international and regional issues such as the situation in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Korean Peninsula. The two heads of state agreed to support each other in hosting this year's APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and the G20 Summit.
Xinhua News Agency reported that during the Xi-Trump meeting, Xi Jinping met with American entrepreneurs accompanying Trump on his visit to China.
Trump is visiting China again after nearly 9 years. He arrived in Beijing on the evening of the 13th. After his talks with Xi Jinping this morning, the two toured the Temple of Heaven, a historic site in Beijing, in the afternoon. A state banquet will be held at the Great Hall of the People in the evening. Trump is expected to return to the United States tomorrow afternoon. (Editor: Lu Jia-rong) 1150514
