China’s Xi Jinping sets new precedent with July 4 message for Trump and US

Chinese leader Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to U.S. President Donald Trump on the 250th anniversary of American independence, marking a departure from usual practice.

During a May summit, Xi emphasized shared interests over differences and urged cooperation to avoid the 'Thucydides Trap,' a theory suggesting conflict arises when an emerging power challenges an established one.
