Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Beijing in May 2026 for bilateral negotiations. In his opening remarks, Xi stated that the world has arrived at a "new crossroads" and urged the two countries to transcend the "Thucydides Trap," which he described as a potential pitfall for major powers. He said that "when the two sides cooperate, both benefit. When they fight, both suffer," and called for the U.S. and China to be "partners rather than opponents." Xi also expressed his belief that "the common interest between China and the United States outweigh our differences" and that "the success of China and the United States is an opportunity for each other." Xi noted that the meeting had "attracted worldwide attention" and framed the discussions as addressing "questions of history, questions of the world, and questions of the people." He said he looked forward to working with Trump to "steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations" and to make 2026 a "historic landmark year" for bilateral ties. The summit was originally scheduled for the previous month but was postponed by Trump due to the war in Iran, according to ABC News reporting.
