Chinese leader Xi Jinping told US President Donald Trump the two countries should be "partners and not rivals" as they met for talks in Beijing on Thursday.
"A stable China-US relationship is a boon for the world. Cooperation benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both. We should be partners and not rivals," Xi said.
Xi added he was "happy" to receive Trump for the US leader's first trip to China since 2017 as "the world has arrived at a new crossroads."
