Xi Jinping and Donald Trump meet at White House to discuss AI and Taiwan
Chinese President Xi Jinping conducted a state visit to Washington, meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. A central focus of the summit was cooperation on artificial intelligence. Xi emphasized that the two nations should leverage mutual strengths in AI development rather than engaging in pure rivalry, and stressed the necessity of keeping AI under human control to serve humanity. Trump suggested a rebranding of the technology from ‘artificial intelligence’ to ‘super intelligence,’ a concept he noted Xi appeared to support.
During the discussions, Xi Jinping publicly called on the United States to maintain a firm stance against Taiwan independence and to handle the Taiwan issue with caution. Trump described the meeting as ‘very productive’ and ‘a very great meeting,’ though he did not provide specific details regarding the Taiwan or Hong Kong discussions.
A formal state dinner was held, attended by numerous high-profile technology executives, including Elon Musk of Tesla, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, and Sundar Pichai of Google. The event also included diplomatic gestures, such as Trump presenting Xi with a carved bald eagle statue. Additionally, Xi announced that two pandas, Ping ping and Fushuang, would soon be sent to the Atlanta zoo as a gesture of friendship.
