China’s leader raised the ancient Greek historian Thucydides when he met the US president in Beijing

Xi Jinping, China’s leader, told President Trump that if the Taiwan issue were handled poorly, it could lead to a clash with the United States. Later, at a state dinner, they emphasized cooperation.

Those business people are here to make deals and to bring back jobs,” Trump said of the dozens of executives and entrepreneurs that accompanied him on his historic trip to Beijing.

President Donald Trump is kicking off the busiest portion of his three-day visit to China. It's a trip that may end up focusing more on pageantry and symbolism than major bilateral breakthroughs.

In contrast to his rhetoric about China at home, President Trump spoke in conciliatory terms with Xi Jinping, the Chinese leader.

U.S. Secret Service and Chinese security officials are reportedly clashing during President Trump's high-stakes meetings with Xi Jinping in Beijing.

Already, the meeting underscored just how far apart the leaders remain on thorny issues, including the war in Iran, trade disputes and Taiwan.
