[Xi Jinping: China and the United States do not need to be shy about competition] Xi Jinping’s speech at the White House welcome ceremony. Xi Jinping: We want to coexist peacefully. I have said many times that China and the United States, two major countries, would both benefit from cooperation and lose from confrontation. China and the United States do not need to be shy about competition, but competition should be healthy and bounded. It should be a race in which you catch up with me, not a wrestling match in which you lose and I win. China and the United States must adhere to the bottom line of non-conflict and non-confrontation, and must also find a way for the two major countries to get along correctly on this planet. The two militaries should maintain regular dialogue and improve crisis communication and prevention mechanisms. The "Thucydides Trap" can be overcome. (CCTV News)
