In a bid to foster cooperation between China and the United States, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington on Wednesday, emphasizing the importance of being partners rather than rivals. Xi expressed confidence that the two nations could forge a stable relationship through mutual understanding and collaboration. Speaking in a written speech, Xi highlighted the greatness of both China and the US, stating that the two peoples are equally great.
He went on to call for a strategic stability-driven bilateral relationship, emphasizing the need for cooperation, manageable differences, and a promise of peace.
Xi's arrival in Washington was met with a rare gesture from US President Donald Trump, who welcomed both Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at the Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. The historic meeting saw Trump acknowledging Xi's statement, "China and the United States should be partners, not rivals." The news of Xi's remarks left many media observers stunned and baffled, reflecting the potential shift in the dynamics between the two superpowers.
During the US President's visit to China in May, Xi and Trump had agreed to build a China-US relationship based on strategic stability, setting the tone for the future development of their bilateral ties. Xi reiterated this commitment, stating that the interests of the two countries are deeply intertwined and that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand.
He emphasized that the historical basis for peaceful coexistence between China and the US remains unchanged, and that the two powers have maintained friendly exchanges for a long time.
Looking forward to his talks with Trump in Washington, Xi expressed his eagerness to hold in-depth discussions on major issues concerning China-US relations and the global situation. The focus of the visit will be on bilateral ties and wider international issues, as both leaders seek to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape that characterizes the relationship between the world's two largest economies.
