Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google President Trump said he had \u201cnever gotten along better\u201d with President Xi Jinping of China on Thursday during a day of military flyovers, gifts of pandas and lavish ceremonies that masked significant divides over artificial intelligence and trade.\u201cPresident Xi and I both understand that we represent different systems but the ties between our people endure,\u201d Mr. Trump said at the start of the state dinner with Mr. Xi at the White House. \u201cTogether we can continue to build a relationship that promotes prosperity and security for future generations.\u201dThe flattery capped a day in which Mr. Trump appeared focused on growing a personal relationship with Mr. Xi to strengthen ties between the two nations, while Mr. Xi at times was more pointed on the challenges before them.After arriving to the White House earlier in the day, Mr. Xi warned that the two countries should avoid the \u201cThucydides Trap,\u201d the theory that a rising power and an established power are likely to go to war.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cWe do not need to avoid mentioning competition, but our competition should be a healthy one and should be kept within bounds,\u201d Mr. Xi said. \u201cIt should be a race of catching up with one another, not a wrestle in which one either wins or loses. China and the United States must hold the line of no conflict and no confrontation between us.\"The two leaders did appear to broach pressing issues behind the scenes. Mr. Trump said they planned on discussing security and \u201csuper intelligence,\u201d his attempt at rebranding artificial intelligence, technology that has spurred global concern in recent weeks. In their private meeting, the two leaders also deliberated trade, Taiwan, the Middle East and Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine, according to the official Chinese summary of talks.ImageMr. Trump, who prides himself on his personal brand of diplomacy, gave a warm reception to Mr. Xi, despite the rivalry between the United States and China. Credit...Doug Mills\/The New York TimesOn Wednesday, the two nations agreed to extend a shaky trade truce \u2014 that eased an intensifying trade war \u2014 by two months past a November deadline. But there was little sign of other policies that came about from the pomp and circumstance.Mr. Xi, in public at least, went further than Mr. Trump on the issue of artificial intelligence. During his opening remarks at the White House, Mr. Xi said he wanted to ensure A.I. was \u201calways under human control.\u201d Mr. Trump has called fears about A.I. leading to mass extinction a \u201choax.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTMr. Trump, who prides himself on his personal brand of diplomacy, has extended his hand to Mr. Xi, despite the rivalry between the United States and China. Mr. Trump accused China this summer of \u201csinister election meddling\u201d in the 2020 election. And Beijing has shown no signs of retreating from its business dealings with Tehran since the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran began this year.Sign up for the On Politics newsletter.

Get it sent to your inbox.Since the start of the war, Chinese companies have even provided Tehran with satellite imagery, and access to a spy satellite, that Iran\u2019s military forces have used to mount attacks in the region, according to multiple U.S. officials.There is little sign that China had made good on a promise made during Mr. Trump\u2019s visit with Mr. Xi in Beijing earlier this year to sharply increase its purchases of American agriculture products.But Mr. Trump, who once criticized the Obama administration for hosting Mr. Xi, appeared particularly focused on playing the part of host rather than rival.\u201cIn return for China breaking nearly every trade promise it has made, Trump is rolling out the red carpet for President Xi,\u201d said Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon. \u201cThere is no evidence that Trump is using this opportunity to push back on the Chinese government policies that hurt our workers and businesses, from forced labor to state subsidies. Donald Trump is giving away the store to China and leaving American families with the bill.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTOn Wednesday, Mr. Trump went to Joint Base Andrews to greet Mr. Xi, breaking from the usual tradition of greeting world leaders at the White House. He presented him with an honor guard ceremony in the Rose Garden featuring a military flyover of a B2 bomber and F-22 jets. He then gave Mr. Xi a tour of his new helipad on the White House grounds.ImageOn Wednesday, Mr. Trump went to Joint Base Andrews to greet Mr. Xi, breaking from the usual tradition of greeting world leaders at the White House.Credit...Kenny Holston\/The New York TimesMr. Trump later hosted Mr. Xi for a state dinner in the East Room with Chinese officials, G.O.P. donors and a number of high-profile executives, including Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang and Elon Musk. Rather than speak about artificial intelligence, Mr. Trump appeared to break from his scripted remarks to direct Mr. Xi to one of the points of pride of his second term.\u201cIt\u2019s one year away from complete, the new ballroom that you\u2019ve heard about,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cAnd you will see something that I think you will really love.\u201dMr. Xi came with gifts. He announced China would be sending two pandas to the Atlanta zoo.In a Truth Social post, Mr. Trump said the day was a made-for-TV moment. But it was missing a crucial component. Major television networks declined to provide shared footage of the events after Mr. Trump blocked CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTReporters from those outlets had their access restored around midday, but the TV pool remained suspended. The networks had indicated that they would not resume coverage following the president until the White House had formally agreed to allow CNN to participate once again in the pool.A crowd of Chinese state media workers were, however, allowed onto the White House grounds.After Mr. Trump\u2019s toast at the state dinner, Mr. Xi selectively recited the history of the two countries, choosing to ignore the worst moments of the Cold War but rather invoke President Richard Nixon\u2019s rapprochement with Beijing in 1972. The message to Trump appeared to be that he, too, had an opportunity to re-establish ties with China, though on Beijing\u2019s terms.\u201cSuch a friendship, forged in blood and fire,\u201d he said, \u201cwill surely live on through the generations.\u201dReporting was contributed by David E. Sanger, Anton Troianovski, David Pierson, Erica L. Green and Chris Buckley.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
