Chinese President Xi Jinping says China’s relations with the United States require a “new positioning” that is centered on cooperation while also involving competition that is kept within controllable limits. In remarks reported by multiple outlets, Xi characterizes the goal as “normal stability” in which differences remain manageable, and “lasting stability” where peace is expected.
Both reports describe Xi’s framing as emphasizing predictability and risk control in bilateral ties, rather than a shift toward either full alignment or escalating rivalry. Daily Sabah notes that the US response to Xi’s comments is subdued, indicating limited immediate reaction.
Overall, the accounts agree that Xi outlines a dual track for the relationship: working together where interests overlap while acknowledging ongoing competition. The statements are presented as aiming to prevent instability and maintain a stable environment for managing disagreements between the two countries.
