Xi Jinping Says He Held "Frank, In-Depth" Talks With Donald Trump
The Chinese president said the discussions gave new meaning to strategic stability between the two countries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said he held "frank, in-depth" talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to TASS, describing the discussions as having given new meaning to the relationship of strategic stability between the two nations.
Xi's characterization of the talks suggests both sides sought to address a range of outstanding issues, though the Chinese leader's remarks, as reported, did not specify which particular topics were covered or what concrete outcomes, if any, resulted from the meeting.
The talks come against the backdrop of a broader effort by both Washington and Beijing to manage tensions in their relationship, which has been shaped in recent years by disputes over trade, technology and regional security issues.
Framing strategic stability
Xi's use of the phrase "strategic stability" points to an effort by Beijing to frame the relationship in terms of long-term predictability between the two powers, rather than focusing solely on specific disputes. Neither government has released a detailed joint statement outlining agreed next steps following the meeting.
