Chinese analysts say Trump should "understand pressure doesn't work" on Xi

Trump must accept that pressure alone "doesn't work on Xi. It doesn't work on China, and it doesn't work on the Chinese people," experts tell CBS News.

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House on Thursday, praising their "truly great friendship" built on mutual respect and the vital interests of their respective people. The historic state visit included discussions on pressing issues such as artificial intelligence, security, technology, and super intelligence.

Xi emphasized the need for both nations to develop and manage AI for good, ensuring human control over its development. Trump and Xi were seen together on the tarmac, marking the first time in over six decades that a U.S. president has welcomed a foreign political leader at Joint Base Andrews. Throughout their visit, Trump confirmed that issues like Iran's war would be discussed, despite initial skepticism about China's support for Tehran.

AI was a key focus due to global concerns about its potential risks, while Taiwan's status was also expected to be a topic of conversation. The visit concluded with a tea ceremony and a tour of the National Archives before Xi's return to China.
