Xi tells Trump: 'Let's not wrestle' at White House summit

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged the US to pursue "healthy" competition rather than a zero-sum "wrestle" during a White House summit, proposing terms to avert military conflict. He called for cooperation to overcome the "Thucydides trap" amid tensions over AI, trade, and Taiwan. Xi outlined conditions for peaceful coexistence, including regular military dialogue and improved crisis communication, and invited 100,000 young Americans to study in China. President Trump welcomed Xi, citing their friendship and progress on trade, while discussions covered security and technology. Xi also announced two giant pandas will arrive at an Atlanta zoo soon, continuing "panda diplomacy." Analysts remain skeptical about lasting agreements, given US export controls on chips and other disputes.
