According to a White House statement on the outcomes of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington this week, the next exchange of the ‘US-China Dialogue on Superintelligence (SI)’ will take place in November 2026, and both countries also agreed to establish a bilateral communication channel for incidents related to this technology.

According to the text, the two countries agreed to refer to this emerging technology as “superintelligence,” the term with which US President Donald Trump rebranded artificial intelligence during his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.

AI gained importance in the meeting between the two leaders after Trump disregarded warnings from industry leaders to regulate it, fearing that China would surpass the United States.

While the American said on social media that this technology should “be left as it is,” Xi advocated during the meeting for ensuring that it “remains under human control and benefits the population.

“In addition, the US-China Trade Council and the US-China Investment Council, established during Trump’s visit to Beijing in May 2026, were launched, and it was announced that China will import at least 10 million metric tons of coal from the United States in 2027 and again in 2028.

Likewise, both countries reached a consensus on recommendations to apply more favorable tariff treatment to $30 billion in non-sensitive goods in each direction.

American exports include agricultural products, wood, and cosmetics, while imports include home appliances and toys.

The statement also indicates that both parties will “continue to work” on US concerns regarding Chinese exports of rare earths and critical minerals to the United States, “with the goal of ensuring that shipment levels return to adequate levels.”

The military forces of China and the United States agreed to promptly finalize a memorandum of understanding on communication and crisis prevention, and will continue to collaborate in the search for remains of American military personnel missing in China.
