US-China relations should be a race, not a clash, says Xi Jinping

Beijing will invite 100,000 American students over the next five years

Chinese President Xi Jinping stated during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House that both nations must avoid conflicts. According to the Chinese leader, the two countries should compete through healthy rivalry rather than a zero-sum confrontation. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.

The talks took place at the American leader’s residence in Washington. The head of Beijing emphasized that the world’s two leading economies are obligated to find an effective path for peaceful coexistence on the planet.

We do not need to avoid mentioning competition, but our competition must be healthy and restrained, said Xi.

It should be a race where some catch up with others, rather than a confrontation where one loses and the other wins, added the Chinese politician.

Educational exchanges for the youth

The official focused on the importance of interpersonal ties and the role of younger generations in shaping bilateral relations. To improve the understanding of his country among American citizens, Beijing is implementing a large-scale educational initiative.

The future of China-US relations depends on our peoples, namely the youth, noted the PRC leader.

In this regard, I am pleased to announce that over the next five years, China will invite 100,000 representatives of American youth for exchanges and study, stated the head of state.

Search for compromises

The parties discussed the need for responsible management of differences in a bilateral format. The leader of the Chinese state stressed that Washington and Beijing must act as partners rather than adversaries.

High-level communication is designed to reduce tension in global trade and geopolitics. Both sides continue to seek common ground to stabilize the situation.
