Xi raises concerns over ‘Thucydides Trap’ during meeting

Last Thursday marked the seventh face-to-face meeting between Trump and Xi since their first meeting in 2017.

During the summer, the Chinese leader referenced the ‘Thucydides Trap,’ a theory often used to describe rising tensions between powerful nations.

“Whether China and the United States can transcend the so-called Thucydides Trap and create a new normalization of relations between major powers,” he said, would determine “whether we can join hands to address global challenges and inject greater stability into the world.”

Also, he spoke about ‘the future destiny of humanity’ and the need to build ‘a better future for bilateral relations’.
