Xi and Trump set sights on stability for China and the US – with a note of caution

The meeting may have been delayed but when the summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump took place on Thursday,…

Sitting down for talks at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing, the two leaders agreed to make stability a key goal of relations over the next three years – and beyond, according to state media.

Trump also invited Xi and first lady Peng Liyuan to visit the White House, setting the date for September 24.

The common ground marked a reset in relations within a new framework.

“I have agreed with President Trump on a new vision of building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability,” state news agency Xinhua quoted Xi as saying.

This framework should extend for the next three years or even longer, Xi said, while also warning that Taiwan would be the main obstacle to the envisioned stability.

“If [the Taiwan issue] is handled well, bilateral relations can remain stable, if it is messed up, the two countries will have frictions or even confrontation and draw China-US relations to a dangerous place … The US side must handle the Taiwan issue with great caution,” Xi was quoted as saying.
