“In his opening remarks at his summit with Donald Trump on May 15, the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, invoked the fifth-century BC Greek historian”
MISLEADING
While the evidence confirms Xi Jinping invoked the 'Thucydides Trap' (which refers to the Greek historian Thucydides), one web search result specifically states he spoke to Trump on May 14, not May 15. Wikipedia confirms a state visit occurred May 13-15, 2026, but the specific date of the remarks in the claim (May 15) is contradicted by the search result citing May 14.
