Chinese President Xi Jinping said China and the United States can achieve mutual success and shared prosperity, benefiting both nations and the world.
In a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, Xi stressed that realizing this vision requires joint efforts rooted in mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
The two leaders engaged in a candid, in-depth exchange on bilateral relations and global issues, providing strategic guidance for the stable development of ties in the coming phase. The conversation was described as pragmatic, positive and constructive.
Xi recalled the historic partnership during World War II, noting the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. He highlighted how China solemnly commemorated the occasion by inviting families of the Flying Tigers to the Tian'anmen Rostrum for the military parade. "Chinese people will never forget the support provided by the United States and other anti-fascist allies," Xi said, calling on both sides to honor fallen heroes, remember history, cherish peace and open a brighter future.
Stressing the significance of China-U.S. relations, Xi praised recent consultations between both teams for demonstrating equality, respect and mutual benefit. He urged the U.S. side to avoid unilateral trade restrictions that could undermine progress from multiple negotiation rounds.
On the TikTok issue, Xi said China's position is clear. He welcomed business negotiations in line with market rules and called for a solution that conforms to Chinese laws and regulations while addressing both countries' interests. He also urged the U.S. to provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory environment for Chinese enterprises investing abroad.
President Trump praised the parade marking the 80th anniversary as "phenomenal and beautiful," and called the U.S.-China relationship the most important bilateral partnership in the world. He said by working together, the two powers can achieve many great things that contribute to global peace and stability, and expressed hopes to maintain a long-term, big and great relationship with China.
Trump also emphasized the importance of promoting bilateral economic and trade cooperation, resolving issues like TikTok through continued dialogue, and standing ready to work with China to maintain world peace.
