This new vision reflects the realities of China-U.S. ties, embodies the expectations for the future, and is an important step toward a right approach for the two countries to get along with each other. The two sides should turn this vision into action,strive to take their relationship where cooperation is the mainstay, competition is kept within proper limits, differences are managed and peace can be expected,and chart the right path for the two major countries to get along.

President Xi Jinping Holds Talks with US President Donald Trump On the morning of September 24, 2026, local time, President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump held talks at the White House. Xi Jinping pointed out that the mutual visits between the two heads of state in less than six months are unprecedented in the history of China-US relations. President Trump and I have maintained communication through various means, jointly steering the ship of China-US relations. In May of this year, President Trump and I unanimously decided to build a constructive strategic and stable relationship between China and the US. This new positioning reflects the reality of China-US relations and embodies expectations for the future, and is an important step towards the correct path for the two countries to get along. We must translate this vision into action, strive towards cooperation as the main focus, competition with moderation, differences that are controllable, and peace that is achievable, and forge a correct path for the two major powers to get along. China and the US should and can fully achieve mutual benefit and win-win results through pragmatic cooperation, achieve mutual success through benign competition, properly handle differences by seeking common ground while reserving differences, and build peace by accumulating mutual trust, so that the constructive strategic and stable relationship between China and the US can better benefit the people of both countries and the people of the world. Xi Jinping emphasized that the new round of consultations between the two sides' economic and trade teams, reaching a new joint arrangement, is good news for the industries, people, and even the global economy of both countries. Cooperation is a two-way street; the stability of China-US economic and trade relations requires both extending the list of cooperation and reducing the list of issues. As long as we uphold the spirit of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, we can find a way to solve problems. He hoped that both sides would meet each other halfway, adhere to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and promote the continued stable and positive development of China-US economic and trade relations. Xi Jinping pointed out that both China and the US are major powers in artificial intelligence. While there is competition, there is also cooperation. Both sides should leverage their respective strengths rather than be defensive towards each other. Both sides can continue to conduct dialogues on artificial intelligence, exchange views on its risks and benefits, and jointly prevent the misuse and abuse of artificial intelligence. We must maintain human control over artificial intelligence technology, uphold the people-centered and benevolent principles, and ensure that artificial intelligence serves human progress. Xi Jinping stressed that China's position on safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity is very clear. He hoped that the US would adhere to its correct position against "Taiwan independence," handle the Taiwan issue prudently, and lay a solid foundation for China-US strategic cooperation and the development of bilateral relations. Trump stated that President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United States was a great visit. Both the US and China are major powers, and President Xi and I are good friends, maintaining in-depth and close communication. Under our leadership, US-China relations will certainly improve. The two countries' economic and trade teams achieved new results in a new round of consultations, and both sides should continue dialogue to reach better agreements. Artificial intelligence concerns the future of humanity, and the US and China should maintain dialogue and strengthen cooperation on this issue.
