(Mark Schiefelbein\/AP)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>BEIJING \u2014 President Donald Trump embraced a name for this week\u2019s summit with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, riffing on the Group of Seven meeting of the world\u2019s largest economies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the two great countries. I call it the G-2. This is the G-2,\u201d he said in an interview with Fox News\u2019s Sean Hannity that aired Friday and was taped after Thursday\u2019s bilateral meeting with Xi. \u201cI think it\u2019ll go down as a very important moment in history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Trump was the one who said it, the image of two superpowers on similar footing was exactly what Xi aimed to achieve with the visit, analysts said. Over two days of meetings here, the carefully choreographed pageantry and the reciprocal gestures of friendship and respect between the world\u2019s two most powerful men displayed a geopolitical dynamic that the Chinese have long craved and Americans had resisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXi has done something Chinese leaders have been working toward for decades \u2014 bringing an American president to Beijing as an undisputed peer,\u201d said Julian Gewirtz, who served as China director on the National Security Council under President Joe Biden. \u201cXi used the opulent optics of the visit to make clear to the world that China and the United States are the two dominant, equally matched superpowers. There is no going back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump on Friday scoffed at the suggestion that the U.S. was an empire in decline \u2014 appearing to be reacting to something Xi had said, perhaps his reference on Thursday to the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.belfercenter.org\/programs\/thucydidess-trap\/thucydidess-trap-case-file\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.belfercenter.org\/programs\/thucydidess-trap\/thucydidess-trap-case-file\">Thucydides trap<\/a>,\u201d Harvard University historian Graham Allison\u2019s term for a rising power challenging a dominant one. Trump said he sided with Xi as far as criticizing his predecessor but had already turned things around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi!\u201d Trump said on social media on Friday. \u201cBut now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-263\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/e890fbf7b7498c0b713567de2e09bdcb-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/e890fbf7b7498c0b713567de2e09bdcb-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/e890fbf7b7498c0b713567de2e09bdcb-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/e890fbf7b7498c0b713567de2e09bdcb-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/e890fbf7b7498c0b713567de2e09bdcb-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/e890fbf7b7498c0b713567de2e09bdcb-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>Trump and Xi talk at the Zhongnanhai leadership compound on Friday in Beijing. (Mark Schiefelbein\/Pool\/AP)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Shortly after 2 p.m. local time, Trump was on Air Force One, ready to depart.<\/p>\n<p>Trump came into the summit without clearly defining his strategy or goals. He indicated he would discuss his standoff with Iran over oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz but rejected needing China\u2019s help, and he left without announcing firm commitments or developments on that and several other issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel very similar about we want it to end,\u201d Trump said Friday at a second meeting with Xi, referring to the war on Iran. \u201cIt\u2019s a crazy thing there, a little bit crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/13\/trump-jets-china-with-gaggle-ceos-hoping-xi-will-open-up-them\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/13\/trump-jets-china-with-gaggle-ceos-hoping-xi-will-open-up-them\/\">brought executives<\/a> from top American companies with the promise of new trade deals and investments and brought them in to talk during Thursday\u2019s meeting with Xi. The main deal that has been announced was an agreement for China to buy what Trump said would be 200 Boeing jets. His statement led the company\u2019s shares to fall because it was less than investors expected.<\/p>\n<p>The administration also expects the summit to produce an agreement for China to buy U.S. agricultural products worth \u201cdouble-digit\u201d billions annually for the next three years, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Bloomberg TV on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made some fantastic trade deals, really for both countries,\u201d Trump said Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in an interview with CNBC, said the two countries would also move toward future talks on artificial intelligence, another topic on which the summit did not lead to any immediate agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two AI superpowers are going to start talking\u201d about potential joint steps on large language models, Bessent said, emphasizing a desire \u201cto make sure non-state actors don\u2019t get ahold of these models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has frequently drawn on suspense and unpredictability to get results in past summits. This time he stuck to his scripted remarks at the public portions of Thursday\u2019s formal meeting and banquet. Other than the friendly interview with Hannity, he has not taken any questions from reporters since leaving Washington, and the White House offered only a 158-word summary of Thursday\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese side, by contrast, released a longer, more detailed official account as well as multiple reports in state media, leading <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/14\/trump-chinas-xi-hold-opening-session-two-day-summit\/?itid=ap_isaac-arnsdorf_article-list_1_0\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/14\/trump-chinas-xi-hold-opening-session-two-day-summit\/?itid=ap_isaac-arnsdorf_article-list_1_0\">Xi\u2019s warning to Trump on Taiwan<\/a> to become the dominant theme in global coverage for most of the summit\u2019s first day and a half.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=257\">Premier League winger Mitoma out of World Cup for Japan as 26-player squad named<\/a><\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/364b91732a5c447d9015be7e2334cff0-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/364b91732a5c447d9015be7e2334cff0-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/364b91732a5c447d9015be7e2334cff0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/364b91732a5c447d9015be7e2334cff0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/364b91732a5c447d9015be7e2334cff0-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/364b91732a5c447d9015be7e2334cff0-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>Xi Jinping with Donald Trump at the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in Beijing on Friday.

The construct failed to gain traction, however, and Trump has revived it as he seeks to improve relations with China.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Xi\u2019s ambitions to project China as a rising superpower, Beijing officially refrains from endorsing terms like \u201cG-2,\u201d preferring to speak of \u201cstability\u201d and to portray a multipolar world with the U.S. as one pole rather than a globe divided into spheres of influence between China and the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Overtly embracing a G-2 could be awkward for the Chinese<b> <\/b>now, as Xi is scheduled to host his ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin, later this month.<\/p>\n<p>Still, state-affiliated scholars have pointed to a tacit recognition that China and the U.S. are a \u201cde facto G-2,\u201d with China now viewing itself as a peer to the U.S. in managing global affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Zheng Yongnian, a Shenzhen-based political scientist who has been advising the Chinese government on reform and development, <a href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/l7FHuOV1gv6po5Fj2AMTlQ\" rel=\"\">said in a speech<\/a> in February that \u201cChina and the United States are not only the two most significant powers in international politics and the core pillars propping up the international order, but also the crucial builders of the international order of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his public remarks, Xi more directly posed China as a rising challenger to U.S. dominance, describing international affairs as undergoing a \u201ctransformation not seen in a century\u201d that is \u201caccelerating across the globe\u201d \u2014 a veiled reference to a decline in U.S. influence and a rise in Chinese power, according to state media and state-affiliated scholars.<\/p>\n<p>China has long emphasized noninterference as a core tenet of its foreign policy, and its leaders prefer to focus on its economy and seeking stability in relations with the U.S., experts say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re pretty uncomfortable with the notion of G-2 bringing them responsibilities that they don\u2019t really want to take on,\u201d said a former U.S. official involved in Asia, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic issues.<\/p>\n<p>The framing of the U.S. and China as equals has grabbed attention among U.S. allies and partners in Asia who are navigating delicate relationships with both nations.

Japanese media reported Friday that government officials were making arrangements for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to hold a phone call with Trump after he leaves Beijing to discuss his meeting with Xi.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Xi told Trump that he had decided to host him for tea in Zhongnanhai, the former imperial garden that is the cloistered headquarters and residence compound of Chinese leaders, to repay the U.S. leader for hosting him at Mar-a-Lago in 2017. Trump was heard saying on his way into the tearoom that Xi was giving him roses for the White House Rose Garden. He announced plans for Xi to visit on Sept. 24.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we\u2019re  going to lay it on the line,\u201d he said Friday, \u201cand you\u2019re  going to walk away, hopefully very impressed, like I\u2019m very impressed with China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Lee reported from Taipei, Taiwan.
