Xi, Trump Hold Talks as CN-US Econ, Trade Teams Reach New Joint Arrangement After Consultations
2026-09-25 08:43:30
Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with US President Donald Trump at the White House. Xi said that the two heads of state had achieved mutual visits in less than half a year, an unprecedented development in the history of China-US relations. He and Trump have maintained communication through various channels and jointly steered the ship of China-US relations. China and the US should and can achieve mutual benefits and win-win outcomes through pragmatic cooperation, help each other succeed through healthy competition, properly manage differences while seeking common ground, and build peace through accumulated mutual trust, allowing a constructive and strategically stable China-US relationship to better benefit the peoples of both countries and the world.

Xi 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 industries, citizens of both countries and even the global economy. Cooperation is a two-way street. Stability in China-US economic and trade relations requires both expanding the list of cooperation items and reducing the list of issues. As long as both sides uphold the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, solutions to problems can be found. He expressed hope that both sides would work in the same direction, adhere to a mutually beneficial and win-win orientation, and promote the continuous stable and positive development of China-US economic and trade relations.

Xi said that both China and the US are major artificial intelligence powers, and while there is competition between the two sides, there can also be cooperation. Both sides should leverage their respective strengths rather than build barriers against each other. The two sides can continue artificial intelligence dialogue, exchange views on its risks and benefits, and jointly prevent the misuse and abuse of artificial intelligence. Human control over artificial intelligence technology should be maintained, with a people-oriented and positive approach so that artificial intelligence serves human progress.

Xi also said that China's position on safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity is very clear. He expressed hope that the US would adhere to the correct position of opposing "Taiwan independence", prudently handle the Taiwan issue, and lay a solid foundation for China-US strategic cooperation and bilateral relations.

Trump said Xi's state visit to the US was a great visit. China and the US are both major countries, and he and Xi are good friends who maintain deep and close communication. Under the leadership of both sides, China-US relations will certainly develop well. The new round of consultations between the economic and trade teams of both countries achieved new results, and both sides should continue dialogue and reach a better agreement. Artificial intelligence concerns the future of humanity, and China and the US should maintain dialogue and strengthen cooperation in this field.

The two heads of state also exchanged views on major international and regional issues including the Middle East situation, the Ukraine crisis and the Korean Peninsula.

The two leaders also confirmed mutual support for hosting the 2026 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' informal meeting and the G20 Leaders' Summit.
