Shiguang Chronicle | Xi's upcoming US visit to chart course for bilateral ties

At the invitation of US President Donald Trump, President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the US from September 23 to 25, marking an exchange of visits between the two leaders within six months. China-US ties have been widely regarded as the world's most important bilateral relationship. "I look forward to working together with you to set the course and steer the giant ship of China-US relations, so as to make 2026 a historic, landmark year that opens up a new chapter in China-US relations," Xi said in his meeting with Trump in May.
