JAKARTA - Chinese President Xi Jinping told US President Donald Trump that the two countries should be "partners, not rivals" when the two met in Beijing on Thursday, May 14.

In his opening remarks at the People's Grand Hall, Xi said China and the United States would both benefit from cooperation and lose out if they chose confrontation.

"We must help each other to achieve success, shared prosperity, and find the right way for major countries to establish relations in this new era," Xi said, quoted by Antara.

He said the two countries have "more common interests than differences," adding that the success of one country is an opportunity for the other.

According to Xi, a stable bilateral relationship will also benefit the world.

He expressed readiness to discuss various important issues for both countries and the international community with Trump.

Xi hopes 2026 will be a historic year that opens a new chapter in China-US bilateral relations.
