Overcoming the Thucydides Trap

During his talks with US President Donald Trump in May, President Xi Jinping raised a pivotal question: "Can China and the US overcome the Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major-country relations?" Providing strategic guidance for bilateral ties over the next three years and beyond, the new vision of building a "constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability" serves as a solemn response to this historical question. Steered by the two heads of state, the international community hopes both nations can sustain this momentum through mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
