‘Constructive Strategic Stability’: How Xi Seeks to Shape the Next Phase of US-China Ties
The framework is expected to guide China-US ties for the next three years and beyond, with both sides stressing cooperation over confrontation.
- On Thursday, May 14, 2026, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, agreeing on a new framework of "constructive strategic stability" to guide bilateral ties.
- Xi introduced this framework to guide China-US relations for the "next three years and beyond," aiming to move past last year's tariff standoff by defining boundaries for measured competition.
- Accompanying Trump, US business leaders including Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook signaled confidence in the Chinese market, where 52% of surveyed US-funded enterprises expect profitability in 2025.
- During talks, Xi warned that the "Taiwan question is the most important issue" in relations, while both leaders agreed the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and Iran should never have nuclear weapons.
- Trump and Xi may meet again twice this year, with the APEC Economic Leaders' meeting in Shenzhen in November and the G20 Summit in Miami in December, marking unprecedented consecutive visits.
