Xi warns US and China would both lose in confrontation

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned Thursday that China and the US would both "lose in confrontation" during White House talks with President Donald Trump, urging peaceful coexistence and stable ties between the world's two largest economies. Xi called for healthy, bounded competition and regular military dialogue to prevent crises from escalating into direct conflict, saying the "Thucydides trap" can be overcome. Trump highlighted progress from a trade board created in May, while both leaders discussed tariffs, Taiwan, and artificial intelligence. The summit aimed to maintain a trade truce amid unresolved disputes. Xi also urged fair treatment of Chinese companies in the US and said both nations share responsibility to keep AI under human control.
