On the morning of September 24 local time, President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the visits between the leaders of China and the United States within less than half a year are unprecedented in the history of Sino-US relations. I have been maintaining communication with President Trump through various means, working together to steer the large ship of Sino-US relations. In May this year, President Trump and I jointly decided to establish constructive strategic stability relations between China and the United States. This new orientation reflects the reality of Sino-US relations and also expresses expectations for the future. It is an important step towards a correct way of coexistence between the two countries. We must turn this vision into action, striving towards a direction where cooperation is prioritized, competition is measured, differences can be managed, and peace is possible. China and the United States should be able to achieve mutual benefits through practical cooperation, accomplish each other in healthy competition, properly manage differences while seeking common ground, and build peace by accumulating mutual trust. In this way, the constructive strategic stability relations between China and the United States will benefit the people of both countries and people around the world.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the economic and trade teams of both sides held a new round of consultations and reached a new joint arrangement, which is good news for both the industrial sectors of the two countries, the people, and even the global economy. Cooperation is a two-way process; the stability of Sino-US economic and trade relations requires not only expanding the list of cooperation projects but also reducing the number of issues to be addressed. As long as we uphold the spirit of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, we can find solutions to these problems. It is hoped that both sides will take steps towards each other, adhere to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win results, and promote the continuous and stable development of Sino-US economic and trade relations.
Xi Jinping pointed out that both China and the United States are major countries in artificial intelligence. There is competition between the two sides, but there should also be cooperation. Both sides should showcase their strengths rather than set up barriers against each other. The two sides can continue to engage in discussions on artificial intelligence, exchange views on its risks and benefits, and jointly prevent the misuse of artificial intelligence. It is essential to maintain human control over artificial intelligence technology, adhering to the principles of putting people first and promoting progress and goodness. Artificial intelligence should serve humanity's advancement.
Xi Jinping emphasized that China's position on maintaining national unity and territorial integrity is clear. He hoped that the US would adhere to the correct stance against "Taiwan independence," handle the Taiwan issue with caution, and lay a solid foundation for strategic cooperation between China and the US and the development of bilateral relations.
Trump said that President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States is a great one. Both the United States and China are major powers, and I have a good relationship with President Xi Jinping, maintaining deep and close communication. Under our leadership, US-China relations will surely be improved. The economic and trade teams of both countries have held a new round of consultations and achieved new results. It is necessary for both sides to continue dialogue and reach better agreements. Artificial intelligence is related to the future of humanity, and the United States and China should maintain dialogue on this issue and strengthen cooperation.
The two heads of state also exchanged views on major international and regional issues such as the situation in the Middle East, the Ukraine crisis, and the Korean Peninsula.
Both heads of state confirmed their mutual support for organizing the 2026 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders' Meeting and the G20 Summit.
