聚焦中美元首峰会：军机表演和盛大仪式背后的博弈与分歧

ZOLAN KANNO-YOUNGS2026年9月25日

 President Trump said he had “never gotten along better” with President Xi Jinping of China on Thursday during a day of military flyovers, gifts of pandas and lavish ceremonies that masked significant divides over artificial intelligence and trade.“President Xi and I both understand that we represent different systems but the ties between our people endure,” Mr. Trump said at the start of the state dinner with Mr. Xi at the White House. “Together we can continue to build a relationship that promotes prosperity and security for future generations.”周四，特朗普总统表示，他与中国国家主席习近平“关系从未如此融洽”。这一天充满了军机飞行表演、赠送大熊猫和盛大仪式，掩盖了双方在人工智能和贸易方面的重大分歧。“习近平主席和我都明白，我们代表着不同的制度，但我们两国人民之间的纽带历久弥坚，”特朗普在白宫与习近平的国宴开始时说。“我们可以共同继续建立一种关系，促进子孙后代的繁荣与安全。”The flattery capped a day in which Mr. Trump appeared focused on growing a personal relationship with Mr. Xi to strengthen ties between the two nations, while Mr. Xi at times was more pointed on the challenges before them.这番恭维为当天画上了句号。在这一天里，特朗普似乎专注于发展与习近平的个人关系，以加强两国之间的联系，而习近平则有时更为直截了当地指出双方面临的挑战。After arriving to the White House earlier in the day, Mr. Xi warned that the two countries should avoid the “Thucydides Trap,” the theory that a rising power and an established power are likely to go to war.“We do not need to avoid mentioning competition, but our competition should be a healthy one and should be kept within bounds,” Mr. Xi said. “It should be a race of catching up with one another, not a wrestle in which one either wins or loses. China and the United States must hold the line of no conflict and no confrontation between us."在当天早些时候抵达白宫后，习近平警告说，两国应避免“修昔底德陷阱”——这一理论认为，新兴大国和老牌强国之间很可能会走向战争。“中美不必讳言竞争，但竞争应该是良性的，有边界的，”习近平说。“应该是你追我赶的赛跑，而不是你输我赢的角斗。中美双方必须守住不冲突、不对抗的底线。”The two leaders did appear to broach pressing issues behind the scenes. Mr. Trump said they planned on discussing security and “super intelligence,” his attempt at rebranding artificial intelligence, technology that has spurred global concern in recent weeks. In their private meeting, the two leaders also deliberated trade, Taiwan, the Middle East and Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to the official Chinese summary of talks.两位领导人似乎确实在幕后探讨了紧迫问题。特朗普表示，他们计划讨论安全和“超级智能” (super intelligence)——这是他为人工智能重新命名的尝试，这项技术在最近几周引发了全球担忧。根据中方关于会谈的官方摘要，在闭门会议中，两位领导人还商讨了贸易、台湾、中东以及俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争等问题。广告On Wednesday, the two nations agreed to extend a shaky trade truce — that eased an intensifying trade war — by two months past a November deadline. But there was little sign of other policies that came about from the pomp and circumstance.周三，两国同意将一项摇摇欲坠的贸易休战协议在11月的截止日期之后再延长两个月，该休战曾缓解了两国日益加剧的贸易战。但在这场盛大的仪式中，几乎看不到取得其他政策成果的迹象。Mr. Xi, in public at least, went further than Mr. Trump on the issue of artificial intelligence. During his opening remarks at the White House, Mr. Xi said he wanted to ensure A.I. was “always under human control.” Mr. Trump has called fears about A.I. leading to mass extinction a “hoax.”至少在公开场合，习近平在人工智能问题上的表态比特朗普走得更远。在白宫的开场致辞中，习近平表示希望确保人工智能“始终受控于人”。而特朗普则将对人工智能导致大规模灭绝的担忧称为“骗局”。

Mr. Trump, who prides himself on his personal brand of diplomacy, has extended his hand to Mr. Xi, despite the rivalry between the United States and China. Mr. Trump accused China this summer of “sinister election meddling” in the 2020 election. And Beijing has shown no signs of retreating from its business dealings with Tehran since the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran began this year.Since the start of the war, Chinese companies have even provided Tehran with satellite imagery, and access to a spy satellite, that Iran’s military forces have used to mount attacks in the region, according to multiple U.S. officials.特朗普以自己的个人外交风格为傲，尽管中美之间存在竞争，他仍向习近平示好。今年夏天，特朗普曾指责中国在2020年大选中进行了“阴险的选举干预”。此外，自今年美以对伊朗发动战争以来，北京没有表现出任何迹象，要从与德黑兰的商业往来中退出。多位美国官员表示，自战争爆发以来，中国公司甚至向德黑兰提供了卫星图像和一颗间谍卫星的访问权限，伊朗军队利用该卫星在该地区发动了袭击。There is little sign that China had made good on a promise made during Mr. Trump’s visit with Mr. Xi in Beijing earlier this year to sharply increase its purchases of American agriculture products.几乎没有迹象表明中国兑现了今年早些时候特朗普在北京与习近平会面时做出的大幅增加购买美国农产品的承诺。But Mr. Trump, who once criticized the Obama administration for hosting Mr. Xi, appeared particularly focused on playing the part of host rather than rival.特朗普曾对奥巴马政府接待习近平做出批评，但此次他似乎格外专注于扮演东道主而非竞争对手的角色。“In return for China breaking nearly every trade promise it has made, Trump is rolling out the red carpet for President Xi,” said Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon. “There is no evidence that Trump is using this opportunity to push back on the Chinese government policies that hurt our workers and businesses, from forced labor to state subsidies. Donald Trump is giving away the store to China and leaving American families with the bill.”“中国几乎违背了它做出的所有贸易承诺，作为回报，特朗普却为习近平主席铺上了红毯，”俄勒冈州民主党参议员罗恩·怀登表示。“没有证据表明特朗普正在利用这个机会反击从强迫劳动到国家补贴这些损害我们工人和企业利益的中国政府政策。唐纳德·特朗普正在向中国大肆让步，却让美国家庭来买单。”广告On Wednesday, Mr. Trump went to Joint Base Andrews to greet Mr. Xi, breaking from the usual tradition of greeting world leaders at the White House. He presented him with an honor guard ceremony in the Rose Garden featuring a military flyover of a B2 bomber and F-22 jets. He then gave Mr. Xi a tour of his new helipad on the White House grounds.周三，特朗普打破了总统通常在白宫迎接世界领导人的传统，前往安德鲁斯联合基地迎接习近平。他在玫瑰园为习近平举行了仪仗队欢迎仪式，其中包括B-2轰炸机和F-22战机的军机飞行表演。随后，他带习近平参观了白宫内新建的直升机停机坪。Mr. Trump later hosted Mr. Xi for a state dinner in the East Room with Chinese officials, G.O.P. donors and a number of high-profile executives, including Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang and Elon Musk. Rather than speak about artificial intelligence, Mr. Trump appeared to break from his scripted remarks to direct Mr. Xi to one of the points of pride of his second term.之后，特朗普在东厅为习近平举行了国宴，中国官员、共和党捐助者以及杰夫·贝佐斯、黄仁勋和埃隆·马斯克等众多知名高管出席了晚宴。特朗普并未谈及人工智能，他似乎偏离了预先准备的讲稿，向习近平重点介绍了其第二任期内一个引以为豪的成就。“It’s one year away from complete, the new ballroom that you’ve heard about,” Mr. Trump said. “And you will see something that I think you will really love.”“你听说过的那个新宴会厅，距离完工还有一年，”特朗普说。“到时候你会看到一些我认为你肯定非常喜欢的东西。”Mr. Xi came with gifts. He announced China would be sending two pandas to the Atlanta zoo.习近平带来了礼物。他宣布中国将向亚特兰大动物园赠送两只大熊猫。

In a Truth Social post, Mr. Trump said the day was a made-for-TV moment. But it was missing a crucial component. Major television networks declined to provide shared footage of the events after Mr. Trump blocked CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.在Truth Social的一篇帖文中，特朗普称这一天堪称为电视量身定做的时刻。但却缺少了一个关键要素。在特朗普禁止CNN、MS NOW和Politico进入白宫后，各大电视网拒绝提供这些活动的共享画面。Reporters from those outlets had their access restored around midday, but the TV pool remained suspended. The networks had indicated that they would not resume coverage following the president until the White House had formally agreed to allow CNN to participate once again in the pool.这些媒体的记者在中午前后恢复了入场权限，但电视联合采访团仍处于停摆状态。各大电视网曾表示，除非白宫正式同意让CNN再次参与电视联合采访团，否则不会恢复对总统的跟拍报道。广告A crowd of Chinese state media workers were, however, allowed onto the White House grounds.然而，一群中国官方媒体工作人员却被允许进入白宫。After Mr. Trump’s toast at the state dinner, Mr. Xi selectively recited the history of the two countries, choosing to ignore the worst moments of the Cold War but rather invoke President Richard Nixon’s rapprochement with Beijing in 1972. The message to Trump appeared to be that he, too, had an opportunity to re-establish ties with China, though on Beijing’s terms.在特朗普于国宴上致祝酒辞后，习近平选择性地回顾了两国的历史，他选择忽略冷战最糟糕的时刻，而是提到理查德·尼克松总统在1972年与北京的破冰和解。这向特朗普传递的信息似乎是，他也有机会重新建立与中国的关系，尽管是按照北京的条件。“Such a friendship, forged in blood and fire,” he said, “will surely live on through the generations.”“这份血与火锻造的友谊，”习近平说，“必将世代相传。”
