Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump's opening remarks in Beijing

Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump held talks at Beijing's Great Hall of the People on Thursday (May 14).

During his opening remarks, Xi stressed that the common interests between China and US are greater than the differences. The success of China and US is an opportunity for each other, and the stability of Sino-US relations is the benefit of the world. The two sides should be partners rather than rivals, achieve each other, prosper together, and walk out of a correct way for a great country in the new era.

Trump noted that he had brought great businessmen along with him to "pay respects to you and to China" and that they look forward to doing business with China.
