US President Donald Trump has landed in Beijing, marking the first visit by an American leader since his trip in 2017. His discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping will focus on the strained trade relations between the two nations and the ongoing conflict in Iran. Trump expressed his intention to ask Xi to facilitate the entry of major technology firms into China's economy. Although he noted that he does not require China's assistance regarding Iran, he acknowledged Xi's relatively positive stance on the matter. Xi is expected to push for the cessation of US arms sales to Taiwan and the extension of a trade truce established in October. The absence of Xi at the airport aligns with Chinese diplomatic protocol, which typically does not involve the head of state welcoming foreign leaders at the tarmac. Instead, Vice President Han Zheng welcomed Trump, signaling respect from Beijing. The visit aims to foster a more stable and certain future in US-China relations amidst current global unpredictability.
