US-China relations reach ‘historical milestone’ amid Xi Jinping's upcoming US visit

China has characterized the recent series of meetings between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping over the past six months as a ‘historical milestone’ for US-China relations. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that top-level summit diplomacy plays an irreplaceable role in providing strategic guidance and creating a political framework to manage competition in trade, technology, and security.

As President Xi Jinping prepares for his upcoming visit to the United States, a high-profile state dinner is scheduled at the White House. The event is expected to include prominent leaders from the technology and business sectors, including Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Elon Musk of Tesla, and Sundar Pichai of Google.

The presence of Silicon Valley executives underscores the White House's focus on managing national security issues related to artificial intelligence and ensuring American competitiveness against China.
