Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump started a crucial series of meetings in Beijing on Thursday in a U.S.-China summit where stability in the relationship is the main goal of the two days of discussions. <\/p>\n

The White House and Chinese state media said the leaders concluded their meeting Thursday morning after about two hours. Trump is expected to leave just after midday Friday after a final private meeting with Xi. But few breakthroughs are expected on divisive issues ranging from the Iran war, trade, technology and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Trump hopes to focus the summit talks on trade and deals for China to buy more agricultural products and passenger planes, setting up a board to address their differences and avoid a repeat of the trade war ignited last year after Trump\u2019s tariff hikes.<\/p>\n

In their closed-door meeting, Xi told Trump that if Taiwan is handled well, U.S.-China relations \u201cwill enjoy overall stability.\u201d If not, the two countries risk \u201cclashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy,\u201d Xi said, according to China\u2019s official Xinhua News Agency.<\/p>\n

Trump in December authorized an $11 billion arms package for Taiwan, a self-governed island that Beijing claims as its own territory. The U.S. has not yet moved forward with delivery.<\/p>\n

Xi said China\u2019s door of opening to U.S. business will only open wider, he told American corporate leaders who accompanied Trump. The U.S. president said the business leaders all respect and value China and he encourages them to expand cooperation with China, Xinhua reported.<\/p>\n

The war with Iran is also likely to be a key topic. Ahead of the meetings, Trump hoped China would use its considerable leverage to prod Iran to agree to U.S. terms to end the two-month old war or reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz, but he has tempered those calls ahead of the summit.<\/p>\n

Here is the Latest:<\/p>\n

China\u2019s language shows \u2018core\u2019 focus on Taiwan<\/h3>\n

China has ramped up its language around Taiwan by noting repeatedly in recent weeks that Taiwan is the \u201ccore\u201d of its interests and a key to ensuring a stable relationship with the U.S.<\/p>\n

Trump has demanded Taiwan increase defense spending and in December the White House announced an $11 billion weapons package for Taiwan, the largest ever to the island democracy.<\/p>\n

Ma Chun-wei, an expert in China-Taiwan relations at Taiwan\u2019s Tamkang University, said the elevated defense relationship between the U.S. and Taiwan has caused China to increase its rhetoric over Taiwan.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Xi Jinping, he must show that the Taiwan issue is in China\u2019s hands. He must demonstrate this image, or else he would be criticized,\u201d Ma said.<\/p>\n

Trump and Xi discussed Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz<\/h3>\n

The leaders were in agreement that the Strait of Hormuz needs to be opened to support global energy needs, according to a readout of their Thursday meeting by a White House official.<\/p>\n

Xi also opposed any implementation of tolls on vessels crossing the strait, which effectively has closed since the start of the U.S. and Israel war against Iran.<\/p>\n

Xi expressed interest in China purchasing more U.S. oil to reduce future Chinese dependence on Gulf oil, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

The leaders also discussed further stemming the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals into the U.S. and increasing Chinese purchases of U.S. agricultural products.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s commerce ministry open to expanded US cooperation<\/h3>\n

China is willing to work with the U.S. to continuously expand its cooperation list, China\u2019s Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent engaged in \u201ccandid, in-depth and constructive\u201d exchanges in South Korea on Wednesday, He said.<\/p>\n

For the next step, China is willing to work with the U.S. to expand their cooperation based on the principles of equality, respect and mutual benefit, He said.<\/p>\n

They also would shorten the problem list while promoting healthy economic and trade ties between the sides, He said.<\/p>\n

Chinese social media finds humor in Trump comment about executives<\/h3>\n

A comment by Donald Trump about the U.S. business executives chosen to accompany him to China has become a source of humor on Chinese social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want the second or the third in the company. I wanted only the top, and they\u2019re here today to pay respects to you and to China,\u201d Trump told Xi when the leaders met Thursday.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s comments was ranked second in trending topics on Weibo, a social media platform curated by censors.<\/p>\n

The posts included jokes about how the corporate executives were grateful to be there and pictures of them flashing a thumbs-up sign while leaving the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Analyst says Xi is setting boundaries<\/h3>\n

George Chen, a partner at The Asia Group consultancy, said Xi wants to set clear boundaries on what the U.S. can and cannot do with China.<\/p>\n

Politically it\u2019s all about Taiwan, Chen said, noting Xi\u2019s opposition to independence for the island democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe makes the \u2018red line\u2019 crystal clear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chen said Xi has sought to reassure U.S. businesspeople that China is a place they can make money, which could be seen as Xi\u2019s response to Trump\u2019s demand for China to provide a more favorable environment for U.S. firms.<\/p>\n

Chen said Xi suggested the relationship\u2019s \u201cstrategic stability\u201d can continue at least for the rest of Trump\u2019s term, which can be perceived as progress.<\/p>\n

Ukraine ties a Russian attack on Kyiv to the Beijing summit<\/h3>\n

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha tied an overnight attack on Kyiv to the Xi-Trump summit, saying the assault proved Russia was a threat to international security.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the very time when leaders of the most powerful countries are meeting in Beijing, and the world hopes for peace, predictability and cooperation, Putin launched hundreds of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles at the capital of Ukraine,\u201d Sybiha said on Telegram.<\/p>\n

He said there should be \u201cno illusions\u201d about ending the Russian war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly pressure on Moscow can make him stop,\u201d Sybiha said of Putin, adding that U.S. and Chinese leaders had sufficient leverage to compel Russia to end the conflict.<\/p>\n

Taiwan thanks US for support after China warning<\/h3>\n

Taiwan said it is grateful for the long-term support of the United States after Xi warned Trump on Thursday about potential \u201cclashes and even conflicts\u201d over the self-ruled island China claims as its own.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government views all actions that contribute to regional stability and the management of potential risks from authoritarian expansion positively and continues to work with the United States in various aspects of our relationship,\u201d said Michelle Lee, a spokesperson for Taiwan\u2019s premier.<\/p>\n

Taiwan has stayed in close contact with the U.S. on national security and diplomacy, Lee said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. has also repeatedly reiterated its firm and clear position of support for Taiwan,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

Trump and Xi exchange views on the Middle East, state media reports<\/h3>\n

Trump and Xi have exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East, the Ukraine crisis and the Korean Peninsula, the official Xinhua News Agency reported without providing additional details of the discussion.<\/p>\n

The wars in Iran and Ukraine and relations with North Korea have been sources of tensions between Washington and Beijing.<\/p>\n

Trump and Xi agreed to support each other this year by hosting the APEC Economic Leaders\u2019 Meeting in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, and the G20 Summit in Florida, Xinhua reported.<\/p>\n

Xi calls for stability in relationship with US<\/h3>\n

Xi said he and Trump agreed to establish a new orientation for U.S.-China relations that is \u201cconstructive, strategic and stable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xi said the bilateral relationship should take this direction for the next three years and beyond, according to China\u2019s official Xinhua News Agency.<\/p>\n

Xi said this new strategic orientation should have \u201climits to competition\u201d and \u201cdifferences are managed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xi said both sides should use political, diplomatic and military communication channels to ensure the goals.<\/p>\n

Brett Ratner confirms he is in China for \u2018Rush Hour 4\u2019<\/h3>\n

Xi says China-US economic ties are win-win, state media reports<\/h3>\n

Economic ties between China and the United States are mutually beneficial and win-win in nature, Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Donald Trump during their talks, according to the Chinese official news agency Xinhua.<\/p>\n

The Chinese president said facts have shown time and again there are no winners in trade wars, calling on both sides to jointly sustain the good momentum they have worked hard to build, Xinhua reported.<\/p>\n

Xi said China\u2019s door of opening to American business will only open wider and wider he told American CEOs on Thursday morning during his meeting with Trump, China\u2019s official Xinhua News Agency reported.<\/p>\n

He said China welcomes the U.S. to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with China and believes American businesses will have even broader prospects in China, according to Xinhua.<\/p>\n

Trump said the business leaders he brought along all respect and value China and he encourages them to expand cooperation with China, the report said.<\/p>\n

Traveling to China as part of the U.S. delegation are some 17 CEOs, including Tesla\u2019s Elon Musk, Apple\u2019s Tim Cook and Boeing\u2019s Kelly Ortberg, the White House says.<\/p>\n

Trump and Xi wrap up meeting after about two hours<\/h3>\n

The White House and Chinese state media said the leaders concluded their meeting after about two hours of talks.<\/p>\n

The leaders discussed trade, Taiwan and other differences in the U.S.-China relationship<\/p>\n

Xi warns Trump differences over Taiwan could bring US and China to clashes or conflict, state media reports<\/h3>\n

In a closed-door meeting Xi told Trump that if Taiwan is handled well, U.S.-China relations \u201cwill enjoy overall stability,\u201d according to a readout of their bilateral talks published by the official Xinhua News Agency.<\/p>\n

If not, however, the two countries risk \u201cclashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy,\u201d Xi was reported to have said.<\/p>\n

Xi says the US and China should be \u2018partners rather than rivals\u2019<\/h3>\n

The U.S. and China should be \u201cpartners rather than rivals,\u201d Xi told Trump ahead of their bilateral talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always believed that the common interests between China and the U.S. outweigh their differences,\u201d Xi said. \u201cCooperation benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xi added that he wanted 2026 to be a \u201clandmark year\u201d in the countries\u2019<\/p>\n

Xi congratulates US for coming 250th anniversary of independence<\/h3>\n

The Chinese leader took a moment to note the coming anniversary \u2014 something that is a big deal for Trump. <\/p>\n

The massive monthslong celebration is to include a \u201cGreat American State Fair\u201d in Washington and a UFC fight night on the South Lawn of the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. I extend my congratulations to you and to the American people,\u201d Xi said. He added, \u201cI firmly believe the common interests between China and the United States are bigger than our differences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xi offers more cautionary tone at start of talks<\/h3>\n

The leaders offered warm words about each other and hope for the future of U.S-China relations as they opened their bilateral talks.<\/p>\n

But Xi sounded more cautionary about what lies ahead for the world\u2019s biggest economic powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooperation benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both,\u201d Xi said. \u201cThe two countries should be partners rather than rivals, achieve success together and pursue common prosperity, and chart a correct path for major-country relations in the new era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Xi is asking Trump for US and China to avoid the \u2018Thucydides Trap\u2019<\/h3>\n

In remarks welcoming Trump, Xi name-checked an ancient Greek historian to express his hopes that the U.S. and China can avoid conflict, saying that history, the world and its people were asking \u201cwhether the two countries can transcend the \u201cThucydides Trap\u201d and forge a new model for relations between major powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was using a term that\u2019s popular in foreign policy studies, referring to the idea that when a rising power threatens to displace an established power, the result is often war.<\/p>\n

It comes from Thucydides\u2019 account of the destructive Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, in which he remarked that \u201cIt was the rise of Athens, and the fear that rise engendered in Sparta, that made war inevitable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xi says the world is at a crossroads, marked by turbulence and uncertainty<\/h3>\n

The Chinese leader in his opening remarks at the summit underscored the importance of the moment for the two world powers and said the question before China and the United States is \u201cwhether the two countries can work together to meet challenges and bring greater stability to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we, in the interest of the well-being of our two peoples and the future of humanity, build a brighter future together for our bilateral relations?\u201d Xi said.<\/p>\n

Trump signals he wants to do business with Xi<\/h3>\n

In his opening comments before reporters to start the meeting, Trump only made glancing allusion to past difficulties in his yearslong relationship with Xi.<\/p>\n

Those include two trade wars, tensions over U.S. support for Taiwan \u2014 and Trump\u2019s impatience with Beijing over the flow precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl.<\/p>\n

He also made no mention of their differences over the Iran war.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a great leader, sometimes people don\u2019t like me saying it, but I say it anyway, because it\u2019s true,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

A pomp-filled ceremony marks the start of the summit<\/h3>\n

Trump and Xi stood side by side for the playing of their countries\u2019 national anthems on Thursday as their summit got underway.<\/p>\n

The leaders than walked the red carpet, accompanied by a goose stepping Chinese service member, to inspect the military honor guard.<\/p>\n

Trump and Xi also paused for a moment in front of dozens of flower-waiving children gathered for the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Democratic lawmaker urges Trump not to be \u2018driven by improvisation, personal flattery\u2019 in talks<\/h3>\n

Trump has talked up his personal rapport with Xi despite deep differences on a slew of issues. <\/p>\n

Sen. Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that Trump would be misguided to put too much stock in his personal dynamic with the Chinese leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot afford to trade lasting American strength for a short-term political win or to mistake a photo op for real strategic progress,\u201d Warner said. \u201cAny agreement reached with Beijing during this summit must deliver tangible results for American workers, our security, and our long-term competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rubio says Trump will make the case to China to take a \u2018more active role\u2019 on Iran<\/h3>\n

The secretary of state, who is with Trump in Beijing, said administration officials will underscore that \u201ceconomies are melting down because of this crisis\u201d and that will result in consumers \u201cbuying less Chinese product.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s in their interest to resolve this,\u201d Rubio said in an interview with Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity. \u201cWe hope to convince them to play a more active role in getting Iran to walk away from what they\u2019re doing now and trying to do now in the Persian Gulf.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message contrasts with comments by Trump, who downplayed differences with Xi over Iran before departing from Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of things to discuss,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say Iran is one of them, to be honest with you, because we have Iran very much under control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump kicks off the busiest part of his China trip<\/h3>\n

The president arrived in Beijing late on Wednesday. On Thursday, the summit begins in earnest. <\/p>\n

China\u2019s Xi will officially welcome Trump during a ceremony at the Great Hall of the People, followed by bilateral talks.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s some cultural programming \u2014 a visit to the Temple of Heaven \u2014 before a state banquet capping the day.<\/p>\n

This trip is expected to be long on pageantry and symbolism but neither side has yet offered concrete details on what Trump will come away with.<\/p>\n

Xi and Trump will be meeting at the Great Hall of the People<\/h3>\n

The Great Hall of the People was built in 1959 for the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People\u2019s Republic of China. It\u2019s a massive structure, some 171,800 square meters or 42.5 acres, on the western side of Tiananmen Square in Beijing.<\/p>\n

This is where China hosts most of its foreign dignitaries, as well as key events like the annual meeting of its ceremonial legislature. The hall covers an area bigger than the Forbidden Palace.<\/p>\n

Construction of the building was completed in a quick 10 months, and mostly with manpower. China was not heavily industrialized and the chief engineer for the project at the time, Yang Sixin, told state media that \u201cthe bricks that needed to go up were all transported by hand, carried in baskets with a pole. I\u2019ve also carried the bricks up myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the structure\u2019s size and towering structure is similar to buildings found in the Soviet style, its decorations inside were designed by referencing Chinese history, such as floral designs from the Tang dynasty. <\/p>\n
