ZOLAN KANNO-YOUNGS, DAVID E. SANGER2026年9月26日 The state visit by President Xi Jinping of China was full of lavish gestures and polite words, but there were few tangible policy announcements on some of the most pressing issues of modern times, such as artificial intelligence, the future of Taiwan and the war in Iran.中国国家主席习近平的此次国事访问不乏隆重的礼遇与客套的言辞，但在当今时代一些最为紧迫的议题上——如人工智能、台湾前景以及伊朗战争——却鲜有实质性的政策宣布。At least in public, President Trump seemed more focused on playing host than challenging his geopolitical rival.至少在公开场合，特朗普总统似乎更专注于履行东道主之谊，而非向其地缘政治对手发起挑战。Over tea at the White House with Mr. Xi, Mr. Trump described the summit as “tremendous” and said the two superpowers had made “great strides.” Mr. Xi said he and Mr. Trump had added “new substance” to the relationship.在白宫与习近平茶叙时，特朗普称此次峰会“非常成功”，并表示这两个超级大国已取得“巨大跨越”。习近平则表示，他与特朗普“丰富了”两国关系的“内涵”。But after nearly two days of meetings, the leaders of the world’s two largest economies and artificial intelligence superpowers had little to show beyond the pageantry.然而，除了盛大的排场之外，在历时近两天的会谈之后，这两位全球最大经济体兼人工智能超级大国的领导人几乎未能拿出任何实质成果。Gone were the days when Mr. Trump used meetings with the Chinese leader to celebrate big business deals, like purchases of soybeans and Boeings. Instead, he stressed how well he and Mr. Xi get along, as if that were a shield to questions about Chinese companies aiding Iran with satellite imagery that it has used to mount attacks in the region, or the rapid growth of its nuclear weapons program or its territorial declarations in the South China Sea.特朗普过去利用与中国领导人的会晤来庆祝大额商业订单（如采购大豆和波音飞机）的日子已一去不复返。取而代之的是，他极力强调自己与习近平相处融洽，仿佛这能成为挡箭牌，规避外界对中国企业向伊朗提供卫星图像协助其在该地区发动袭击、中国核武器计划迅猛扩张以及中国在南海的领土主张等问题的质疑。“Trump has increasingly collapsed the vast challenge of U.S.-China relations into the narrow question of his personal relationship with Xi,” said Julian Gewirtz, a former China director for the National Security Council in the Biden administration and now a research scholar at Columbia University. “He seems either unaware of or unconcerned by Beijing’s effort to turn today’s stabilization into tomorrow’s constraints on U.S. policy.”“特朗普日益将美中关系的宏大挑战简化为其与习近平个人关系这一狭义问题，”拜登政府时期国家安全委员会前中国事务主任、现哥伦比亚大学研究学者朱利安·格维茨表示。“对于北京试图将眼下的局势稳定转化为未来对美国政策的钳制，他似乎要么浑然不知，要么漠不关心。”周五，彭丽媛与梅拉尼娅·特朗普在白宫与各自的丈夫习近平和特朗普一同茶叙。Mr. Trump showed the Chinese leader the construction of the White House helipad and ballroom. He presented Mr. Xi a statue of a bald eagle as American tech titans dined on sea bass. And even as the White House runs a taxpayer-funded advertisement condemning communism, Mr. Trump took the leader of China on a tour of the National Archives to see the founding documents of American democracy.特朗普陪同中国领导人参观了白宫直升机停机坪和宴会厅的施工现场。在美国科技巨头品尝海鲈鱼之际，他向习近平赠送了一尊白头鹰雕像。甚至在白宫投放由纳税人资助的广告谴责共产主义的同时，特朗普还陪同中国领导人参观了国家档案馆，观看了美国民主的立国文献。In many ways, the summit between Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi was more notable for what they appeared to avoid detailing rather than what they did announce.在很大程度上，特朗普与习近平之间的这场峰会值得关注之处更多在于双方似乎刻意回避详述的内容，而非他们实际公布的成果。Of course, the administration could announce some progress in the days ahead. When asked if the visit had produced additional policy plans, the White House referred to one of Mr. Trump’s social media posts describing the visit as “one of Friendship, Strength, and Success.” “Much has been, and will be, accomplished,” Mr. Trump said without providing details.当然，美国政府可能会在未来几天公布一些进展。当被问及此次访问是否产生了更多政策成果时，白宫建议媒体参考特朗普发表的一条社交媒体动态。在该贴文中，特朗普将这次访问描述为“展现友谊、实力与成功之旅”。“许多工作已经完成，更多成果在后头，”特朗普在未提供具体细节的情况下如是说道。Mr. Trump’s aides and supporters say his personal relationship is key to his diplomatic approach with China.特朗普的幕僚与支持者指出，私交是他开展对华外交策略的核心关键。The two nations did agree to extend, briefly, a trade truce reached in October 2025 during a meeting in South Korea. That deal had eased an intensifying economic confrontation, during which Mr. Trump imposed tariffs that briefly reached 145 percent, and Mr. Xi suspended most exports of critical minerals and magnets.双方确实同意短暂延长2025年10月在韩国会晤期间达成的贸易休战协议。该协议曾在一定程度上缓解了不断升温的经济对抗；在对抗期间，特朗普一度加征高达145%的关税，而习近平则暂停了绝大多数关键矿物与磁体的出口。The accord, set to expire in November, was extended by two months. Mr. Trump said his efforts with Mr. Xi would also be “great for the farmers” but neither side gave any details. China had agreed to sharply increase its purchases of American agricultural products when the two leaders last met, but there is little sign Beijing has made good on the promise.这项原定于11月到期的协议获展期两个月。特朗普声称他与习近平的沟通也将“对广大农民大有裨益”，但双方均未透露任何细节。两国领导人上次会晤时，中国曾同意大幅增加对美农产品的采购，但几乎没有迹象表明北京兑现了承诺。特朗普陪同一名共产主义政权领导人参观美国国家档案馆，并观看了《独立宣言》。There were no new announcements on how to rein in artificial intelligence, even after a summer in which A.I. agents broke out of the “sandboxes” where they were being tested, conducted cyberattacks on their own and covered their tracks. Mr. Trump had short-circuited the discussion using social media to declare that A.I. “will be a big topic of discussion, but I want to leave it exactly where it is,” posting hours before Mr. Xi arrived. “That is China’s position also.”尽管在此前的夏季中，AI智能体曾突破测试“沙盒”并自主发起网络攻击且掩盖踪迹，但本次会晤并未就如何约束人工智能出台新举措。早在习近平抵达前数小时，特朗普便通过社交平台发文打断了该议题的讨论，声称人工智能“固然是重要议题，但我希望维持现状”，并补充称“这也是中国的立场”。But the Chinese leader, in his opening statement, emphasized the need for “human control” over A.I. agents, a topic Mr. Trump has avoided. It is still unclear whether they discussed the subject at any length in private.然而中国领导人在开场致辞中，强调了对AI智能体保持“人类控制”的必要性，而这一话题正是特朗普所刻意回避的。双方是否在闭门会谈中深入探讨了该议题，目前仍不得而知。Much the same mystery surrounds their talks on Taiwan. Mr. Trump told reporters on the way back from his trip to China in May that he would soon decide on a new arms package for Taiwan, after consulting Taiwan’s “leader,” presumably a reference to President Lai Ching-te. Such a consultation would have been a breach of the rules in how to deal with the island territory, which China claims as its own, and there is no evidence that it happened. Mr. Trump never made public a decision.双方关于台湾问题的会谈同样笼罩在迷雾之中。特朗普在5月访华归程中曾向媒体表示，他在咨询台湾“领导人”（推测指赖清德）后，将很快就对台新军售案作出决定。此种协商本会违背处理该岛屿领土（中国声明拥有其主权）的交往惯例，且并无证据表明此类协商确实发生过。特朗普也始终未公开任何决定。Mr. Xi pressed Mr. Trump to oppose Taiwan independence, according to a Chinese readout of their meetings. (To shape the narrative, China turned out its version of the discussions almost immediately.)根据中方发布的会谈通稿，习近平敦促特朗普明确反对“台独”。（为了引导舆论叙事，中方几乎在会后第一时间发布了其版本的会谈情况。）特朗普向习近平展示他在白宫新建的直升机停机坪。Mr. Trump appears to have not given him any commitments. David Purdue, the U.S. ambassador to China, told CNBC there had been no change in the administration’s approach to Taiwan.特朗普似乎并未做出任何承诺。美国驻华大使庞德伟(David Purdue)向CNBC表示，本届政府在台湾问题上的既定政策并未发生改变。Allen R. Carlson, a professor at Cornell University who focuses on U.S.-China relations and Asia security, said Mr. Trump’s apparent refusal to acquiesce to Mr. Xi’s demands on Taiwan could be viewed as “good news for America’s standing and for the island.”康奈尔大学关注美中关系与亚洲安全的教授艾伦·R·卡尔森指出，特朗普显然拒绝默许习近平在台湾问题上的诉求，这可被视为“对美国的国际威望以及台湾方面的利好消息”。But he said it is also a sign of the low expectations for the summit.但他也表示，这同样折射出外界对此次峰会的期望值普遍偏低。“We are now relieved when an American president simply declines to narrow a commitment that has stood for forty years,” Mr. Carlson said. “His silence will be counted in some corners as an American win. In reality the game and set go to Beijing, if not yet the match.”“如今只要美国总统没有削弱一项延续了四十年的承诺，我们竟就会感到如释重负，”卡尔森表示。“他的沉默在某些阵营看来将被奉为美国的胜利。但现实是，即便尚未输掉整场比赛，这一局和这一盘的赢家也是北京。”Mr. Xi came armed with the ultimate soft-power diplomatic gesture. He announced a decision to send two pandas to the Atlanta zoo and committed to accepting tens of thousands of additional American exchange students in China in the coming years. But that was reaching into an old playbook for Chinese leaders.习近平此次展现了极具代表性的软实力外交姿态。他宣布将向亚特兰大动物园运送两只大熊猫，并承诺在未来几年内额外接收上万名美国交换生赴华学习。然而，这不过是沿用了中国领导人的传统策略。The two are expected to meet again this year. Mr. Trump told Mr. Xi that he would be attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, in November. He later added that Mr. Xi agreed to attend the Group of 20 summit in Florida in December. “I look forward to our next meeting!” Mr. Trump said on social media.预计双方年内还将再次会晤。特朗普向习近平表示，他将出席11月在中国深圳举行的亚太经合组织(APEC)峰会。他随后补充称，习近平已同意出席12月在佛罗里达州举行的二十国集团峰会。“期待我们的下一次聚会！”特朗普在社交平台上写道。Mr. Trump insisted on social media that the meetings with Mr. Xi were “very productive.”特朗普在社交媒体上强调，与习近平的会晤“富有建设性”。The one example he cited in that post was Mr. Xi’s seemingly supporting his rebrand of artificial intelligence as “super intelligence.”他在该帖文中举出的唯一例证，是习近平似乎赞同他将人工智能改称为“超级智能”(super intelligence)。“That would be ‘SUPER!’” Mr. Trump said.“那真是‘超’棒！”特朗普写道。Zolan Kanno-Young是时报白宫记者，报道特朗普总统及其政府。David E.
