Chinese President Xi Jinping said the United States and China should become “partners, not rivals,” stressing the need for cooperation between the world’s two largest economies despite rising geopolitical tensions. His remarks came shortly after Beijing reiterated strong warnings against any foreign interference in Taiwan, which China considers part of its territory. Xi emphasized stable diplomatic ties, economic collaboration, and mutual respect to avoid confrontation.
