Beijing has welcomed United States President, Donald Trump, for a state visit on Wednesday, marking the start of high-level diplomatic talks between the United States and China.
The visit, scheduled to last several days, is expected to include meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, a formal welcome ceremony, and a state banquet.
According to official briefings from both sides, discussions will focus on trade relations, tariffs, technology competition, global security issues, and ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting both countries.
Analysts say the talks come at a critical moment, as Washington and Beijing seek to manage economic rivalry while avoiding further escalation in strategic disputes involving Taiwan, artificial intelligence, and global supply chains.
The visit is also seen as part of renewed efforts to stabilize bilateral relations after years of tension marked by trade wars and diplomatic strain.
Officials have indicated that both sides may explore new frameworks for economic cooperation and crisis communication mechanisms during the discussions.
