Trump & Chinese President Xi to Meet Face to Face

Why Xi would want to participate in something like this is puzzling. Unlike Putin, he certainly doesn't need summits for summits' sake, least of all with Trump. In addition, South Korea is a really weird venue for a meetup - given that it's not neutral ground. There's also no clear agenda, so I suppose the only reasonable explanation is that Xi expects to get something for free; something valuable enough that he'd want to look past the questionable optics at play here.

Notes from Central Taiwan: As Trump-Xi nears, once again, the sell out

By urging Washington to revive ‘does not support Taiwan independence’, a new ‘Foreign Affairs’ essay offers not deterrence, but a recipe for weakening Taiwan’s confidence and advancing Beijing’s aims

By Michael Turton / Contributing Reporter



The March/April volume of Foreign Affairs, long a purveyor of pro-China pablum, offered up another irksome Beijing-speak on the issues and solutions for the problems vexing the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the US: “America and China at the Edge of Ruin: A Last Chance to Step Back From the Brink” rang the provocative title, by David M. Lampton and Wang Jisi (王緝思).

Trump downplays US-Iran differences as he heads to Beijing to meet with Xi​

United States President Donald Trump has departed the White House en route to Beijing, where he will meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

Trump spoke briefly with reporters on Tuesday as he boarded the Marine One helicopter. He was then set to arrive in China aboard Air Force One on Wednesday, ahead of the planned meetings on Thursday and Friday.

United States officials have taken pains in recent days to downplay how big a topic the US-Israel war on Iran will be during Trump’s visit.

Beijing has made its opposition to the war clear, at times asserting behind-the-scenes pressure on its trading partner Iran. However, it has largely avoided being pulled into the fray.

In recent days, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have stepped up their calls for China to use its influence to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil supply flowed before the war began.

But Trump again gave conflicting messages on Tuesday about how much the war would feature in his meetings in China.

“We’re going to have a long talk about it. I think he’s been relatively good, to be honest with you,” Trump said of his plans to discuss the conflict – and how it has roiled global oil markets – with Xi.

Minutes later, he added, “We have a lot of things to discuss. I wouldn’t say Iran is one of them, to be honest with you, because we have Iran very much under control.”

“I don’t think we need ⁠any help with Iran. We’ll win it one way or the other, peacefully or otherwise,” he said.

Trade to loom large​

The upcoming meetings will be the first face-to-face exchanges since the leaders of the world’s two largest economies met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Busan, South Korea, in October 2025.

It is the second time Trump will travel to China as president, and the first time since his second term began on January 20, 2025. Xi is expected to travel to the US later this year.

Beyond the war, the US administration has stressed that trade will be a top subject discussed, with Trump seeking a series of business deals and agreements.

Underscoring that initiative, Trump invited an array of US business leaders to accompany him on the trip, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who had previously chaired Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Both sides are expected to seek to avoid a return to the tariff war that defined Trump’s early days in office, which saw Trump set tariffs on Chinese goods at 145 percent, while China announced a further tightening of rare-earth export controls that would have hurt US industry.

It certainly cannot be called a coincidence that one of the longest massive Russian attacks against Ukraine takes place precisely at the time when the President of the United States arrived for a visit to China – a visit from which much is expected.

In this difficult geopolitical moment, Russia is clearly trying to disrupt the overall political atmosphere and draw attention to its evil – seeking to do so at the expense of Ukrainian lives and Ukrainian infrastructure. Throughout the entire day today, the Russians have been launching waves of “shaheds” against our regions.

Two different viewpoints. 👇
XI JINPING TO TRUMP: “WE SHOULD BE PARTNERS, NOT RIVALS” If the world’s two largest powers move from confrontation toward strategic cooperation, the geopolitical map changes overnight. The political establishment spent years framing U.S.-China relations as an unavoidable collision course. Now suddenly the language coming out of Beijing is partnership, prosperity and cooperation.

Xi Jinping’s "partners, not rivals" speech in the Great Hall of the People is a masterclass in CCP theater. While the video shows him calling for a "historic landmark year" and a "new chapter," history tells a much grimmer story. Behind the smiles and the floral arrangements lies a decades-long trail of broken treaties and shredded promises. To understand the CCP, you must ignore the teleprompter and look at the track record. The evidence of Beijing’s diplomacy by deception is overwhelming. Here is why the world should be skeptical of every word spoken at the 2026 summit.

The CCP has never kept a promise, honored a deal, or told the truth when it suited them. Watch what Xi does not what he says.
