00:04From China, there is close attention to this Thursday meeting between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump at the White House.
00:11Our correspondent in Beijing, Bruno Falcher, spoke with analysts about the importance of maintaining stability
00:16and managing differences between the world's two largest economies.
00:24Greetings, comrades. From here, in Beijing, where the Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States reached its central
00:33day this Thursday.
00:35In a writing statement after arriving in Washington, Xi said that China and the United States should be partners and
00:43not rivals.
00:44And highlighted that the interests of both countries are deeply intertwined.
00:51He also said that the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and Trump's goal of making America great again can move
01:00forward in parallel, complement each other and benefit the world.
01:06Xi recalled that during Trump's visit to China in May, both sides agreed to build a constructive China-United States
01:16relationship of strategic stability,
01:19based on cooperation, moderate competition and manageable difference, as also the perspective of world peace.
01:29Here, in the Chinese capital, we spoke with Zhao Hai, the director of international political studies at the Chinese Academy
01:39of Social Science,
01:40who spoke to us about the importance of this meeting.
01:44This visit is critically important at a very significant time in world history.
01:51Because President Trump just visited China a couple of months ago in May, both sides agree to establish constructive strategic
02:00stability relationship,
02:02which has been a very, very much the first time when both sides agree upon how to define bilateral relationship.
02:10And also both sides agree to maintain peace and stability, peaceful coexist with each other.
02:16And that is very important because the background is actually there are people in the United States pushing to repress
02:24China's development
02:25and trying to contain China, just like in the Cold War against the Soviet Union.
02:30And China has stand up against the U.S. pressure and has fight for its own, defend its own sovereignty
02:36and defend its own interest.
02:38And China has been very successful pushing back American imperialism.
02:42For Zhao Hai, tensions between the two powers have entered a new stage marked by technological competition and trade disputes.
02:53Another central issue is Taiwan.
02:56The specialist believes Xi will continue to raise Beijing's positions on Taiwan with Trump and warn about the consequence of
03:06United States' arms sales to the island.
03:09Especially offensive weapons.
03:13Zhao Hai also linked the China-United States relationship to international stability, arguing that the relationship between the two world's
03:23largest economies has repercussions beyond the bilateral spheres.
03:30After the meeting, Trump will host a state dinner in honor of Xi Jinping and Peng Lian.
03:36And on Friday, the visit will conclude with official activities before the Chinese president's return to China.
03:45With this news from here, Beijing will go back with you in the studios.
