Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the opening of his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Beijing that the world "has reached a new crossroads" and called on the two superpowers to overcome the "Thucydides Trap" — the fear of conflict between a rising power and an existing power. "We must be partners, not rivals, succeed side by side and prosper together," Xi said. Trump, for his part, praised the "fantastic relationship" between the two, said he has "great respect" for Xi and China, and called the Chinese president "a great leader." According to him, the American delegation looks forward to discussing mutual trade, and it is an "honor" to be in Beijing.
