Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Maryland on Wednesday for a three-day state visit to the US, receiving a rare personal airport welcome from President Donald Trump, the first such greeting by a US president since 1962. Xi stated that China and the US should be "partners, not rivals" and expressed confidence in finding a way to coexist, while Trump vowed to work toward a better future. Talks are expected to cover trade tariffs, technology, AI, military ties, and regional conflicts. In White House remarks, Xi warned against the "Thucydides Trap," advocating for healthy competition as a "race, not a wrestle." He was accompanied by senior officials including Cai Qi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
