Chinese President Xi Jinping has called US President Donald Trump's state visit historic and successful.
The two leaders gave a joint news conference where they spoke about North Korea and also trade.
Trump urged Xi to do more to rein in North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
Trump said, "The entire civilized world must unite to confront the North Korean menace. We discussed our mutual commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea."
For his part, Xi reiterated China's official stance.
He said, "We pledge to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and put our unwavering efforts into maintaining the global non-proliferation of nuclear arms.
We continue to strictly enforce UN resolutions and seek a solution to the nuclear issue through dialogue."
North Korea has fired off a barrage of missiles this year, although none in almost two months.
It also conducted its 6th and most powerful nuclear test in September.
On the issue of trade, both leaders boasted about deals signed during the visit.
Xi said, "During President Trump's visit, both countries have signed business and investment deals that total over 250 billion dollars. On top of that, China has announced measures to expand access to our markets based on our own timetable and roadmap."
Trump delivered a slight jab to China on trade.
He said, "We want a vibrant trade relationship with China. We also want a fair and reciprocal one.
Today, I discussed with President Xi the chronic imbalance in our relationship as it pertains to trade, and the concrete steps that we will jointly take to solve the problem of the massive trade distortion."
Trump has one more night in Beijing before his next stop on his Asia tour -- Vietnam on Friday.

It accused the US of creating the dangerous situation by deploying nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and other strategic weapons in and around South Korea.
It said that unless the US ends its hostile policy and nuclear threat against the North, the country has the self-defensive right to counter with nuclear force. It said this basic stance of North Korea will not change.

The summary of opinions of the latest meeting of the Bank of Japan shows its board debated a member's call for looser monetary policy.
The report shows one member said the BOJ needs to take an additional easing measure for it to hit its 2-percent inflation target at an early date. Analysts say the comment was likely made by Goushi Kataoka, who joined the BOJ in July.
Many policymakers countered his recommendation, citing concerns about possible side effects.
The report covers a 2-day meeting last week. The BOJ decided to keep its monetary policy unchanged.
One member said it would be appropriate to maintain current policy unless the central bank has confidence in the effects of any changes in policy.
Another policymaker warned that additional easing would likely generate side effects on markets and financial institutions that would outweigh any positive impact.

The head of the International Monetary Fund has called on Japan to set objectives for fiscal reconstruction and raise the consumption tax in phases.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde gave an exclusive interview with NHK in Tokyo.
She said the Japanese economy has grown for six quarters in a row and that is exceptional, calling it time to do structural reforms.
She touched on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plan to use increased revenues from a consumption tax hike, scheduled for October 2019, for child care and education, rather than to reduce government debts. Abe has indicated a primary balance surplus won't be achieved by fiscal 2020 as hoped.
Lagarde acknowledged that spending on childcare and education are welcome targets for investment.
But she recommended that Japan set a mid-term objective for fiscal reconstruction.
She called on the government to raise the consumption tax gradually over the course of the next few years, re-set the fiscal reconstruction objective from 2020 to a little later and spend wisely on childcare centers and education.
