Chinese President Xi Jinping held closed-door talks with his American counterpart Donald Trump following an elaborate welcome ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Here are some highlights from Thursday.
Defining Ties
Xi and Trump agreed to build a “constructive, strategically stable relationship”, a new term to define the framework of ties between the two countries.
The new strategic position should be led by cooperation and “measured competition with healthy stability”, Xi said.
