US President Donald Trump has said that the relationship between American and Chinese people goes "all the way back to America’s founding", a day after the White House said officials from both sides discussed in China ways to enhance economic cooperation. Taking to microblogging site X (formerly Twitter), the White House quoted Trump as saying: "Two and a half centuries later, that first connection has grown into one of the most consequential relationships in world history."
Separately, US Vice President JD Vance wrote on X: "There’s a reason President Trump is respected by world leaders, and it’s because he’s consistently shown a level of strength that we haven’t seen from our Commander in Chief in modern history."
On Thursday, the White House had tweeted that talks between both sides included means to expand market access for US businesses into China and increasing Chinese investments.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Trump has asked China President Xi Jinping to "open up" his country's economy to major technology companies, according to foreign media reports. 
The American president reportedly said he expected a "long talk" about Iran. Both Trump and Xi reportedly agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and support the free flow of energy.

They underlined the need to build on progress in ending the flow of fentanyl precursors into the US and increasing Chinese purchases of American agri products, a White House official reportedly said.

The Chinese president hailed US-China relations as the world’s most consequential. “We must... never mess it up," he reportedly told Trump.
"The China-US relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world," Xi said. 
“President Trump and I had in-depth exchanges on China-US relations and international and regional dynamics,” he added.
The US and China must gain from mutual cooperation and should rather be  partners than rivals, noted the Chinese leader. 
What Trump said on Taiwan
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One after his official <a href="https://www.zeebiz.com/world/news-trump-visit-to-china-from-may-13-15-us-president-to-hold-talks-with-xi-jinping-key-global-issues-to-take-centre-stage-395343">visit to China</a>, Trump said he had a lengthy discussion with Xi on Taiwan. 
“There does not appear to be any possibility of conflict over Taiwan," said the US president, clarifying that he made no commitment on Taiwan. 
 
Taiwan, a long-standing US ally, is a self-governing island that China claims as part of its territory and has not ruled out taking by force.
US-China trade relations 
Relations between the world’s two largest economies relations have been soured by trade war that began during Trump’s first administration and have only deepened in April last year -- months into Trump's second stint as POTUS. The situation has somewhat cooled due to partial de-escalation.

In the first half of 2025, Trump slapped aggressive hikes in tariffs on China, a move retaliated with matching duties by Beijing.
In May 2025, both sides agreed in Geneva to reduce some tariffs for 90 days and resume trade negotiations. The US, however, kept a smaller 10 per cent tariff in place, while both sides rolled back some of their respective retaliatory measures. Those discussions were led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.
In October 2025, both sides agreed to a bigger breakthrough deal in Korea, with China agreeing to ease curbs on rare earth exports, cut fentanyl precursor shipments to the US, suspend tariffs on American agricultural products, and purchase 25 million metric tonnes of American soybeans annually until 2028.
This year, although much of 2025-like trade tensions have eased, both sides continue to compete over technology and strategic industries.
