Donald Trump called talks with Xi Jinping “great” after receiving a grand state welcome in Beijing during a high-stakes visit focused on trade, technology and security tensions. Xi urged China and the United States to be “partners, not rivals” as both leaders held nearly two hours of discussions. Chinese state media also highlighted Xi’s warning against possible conflict over Taiwan. Trump, joined by Tesla chief Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, said he would push China to open its markets further to American businesses. The visit comes as Beijing projects itself as a stronger and more assertive global power. (PC: BBC)
