Xi Gives Trump Grand Welcome in Beijing

Chinese President Xi Jinping gave US President Donald Trump a highly ceremonial welcome in Beijing on the opening day of a visit that could reshape relations between the world’s two largest powers. The reception outside the Great Hall of the People featured a military honour guard, a gun salute and performances of the American national anthem. Schoolchildren waving Chinese and US flags lined the route as Trump greeted them during the ceremony. During their meeting, Trump warmly praised Xi, describing him as a “great leader” while highlighting the importance of continued dialogue between both countries. The atmosphere marked a sharp contrast from the harsh rhetoric Trump previously used against China during his political campaigns and trade disputes with Beijing. Over recent years, tensions between Washington and Beijing intensified over tariffs, trade imbalances, Taiwan and geopolitical influence. At the peak of […]

Trump to Visit China for Talks with Xi

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit China on May 14-15 to meet with President Xi Jinping. The trip had been postponed from late March due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran. This will be the first visit by a US president to China in nearly a decade. Trump also announced that Xi Jinping is expected to visit Washington later this year. Preparations for both trips are reportedly underway. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the new dates, noting that China understood the need to delay the visit so Trump could remain in the US during critical military operations. Beijing has not officially confirmed the dates, but Chinese officials stated that both sides are maintaining communication regarding the visit. They also highlighted the strategic importance of leader-level diplomacy for guiding bilateral relations. The trip was initially postponed after […]

Trump Eyes ‘Great Deal’ with China Ahead of High-Stakes APEC Summit

As anticipation builds ahead of a pivotal U.S.-China meeting, former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that he expects to seal a “great deal” with Chinese President Xi Jinping—one that could reshape trade relations between the world’s two largest economies. Speaking at a business luncheon on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, Trump described the expected deal as “something very exciting for everybody,” emphasizing that resolving tensions would be far better than “fighting and going through all sorts of problems.” The comments come as Trump prepares for his first face-to-face meeting with Xi since launching his second trade war against Beijing. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday in Busan, is expected to focus on tariff reductions, fentanyl production control, and rare earth mineral exports—issues central to the strained U.S.-China relationship. Trade Tensions, Tariffs, and […]

Beijing Residents Dismiss Trump’s Tariff Threats

People in Beijing have reacted with calm and defiance to US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to impose steep new tariffs on Chinese imports. Speaking to AFP on Saturday, residents said they were not worried about the move and viewed it as another unpredictable gesture from the former US leader. Trump announced on Friday that the United States would impose an additional 100 percent tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1, or earlier. He also cast doubt on a possible meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The new tariffs, he said, were a response to Beijing’s export restrictions on rare-earth materials, which are crucial for high-tech industries. Chinese authorities have not yet issued an official response. The ministries of foreign affairs and commerce declined to comment when approached by AFP. “I felt nothing when I saw the news,” said […]

US, China ‘very close’ to TikTok deal as trade talks resume in Madrid

The United States is “very close” to finalising a deal with China over TikTok, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday as trade talks resumed in Madrid. Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng opened discussions on Sunday, aiming to ease tensions over trade and technology between the world’s two largest economies. The meetings will run until Wednesday — the deadline for TikTok to secure a buyer or face a ban in the US. “On the TikTok deal itself, we’re very close to resolving the issue,” Bessent told reporters on arrival at Spain’s foreign ministry for the second day of talks.“If we don’t reach an agreement on TikTok, it doesn’t affect the overall relationship between the two countries. It’s still very good at the highest levels,” he added. TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance faces a US law requiring the platform’s […]

China Rejects Trump’s Claim of Plot With Russia, N. Korea

China has dismissed claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump that it is conspiring with Russia and North Korea against the United States. The allegation followed a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. At the event, Chinese President Xi Jinping was joined by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, with the trio watching a large-scale display of China’s military strength. Reacting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.” China’s foreign ministry rejected the claim on Thursday, saying the attendance of foreign leaders was meant to honor history and promote peace. “China’s invitation to foreign guests is to work with peace-loving countries to remember history, honor […]

Xi Jinping Stages Power Play With Putin and Kim at Beijing Parade

As cannon fire rang out over Tiananmen Square, the defining moment of the day wasn’t the soldiers marching or the weaponry on display. It was the sight of China’s President Xi Jinping greeting North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with a prolonged handshake, followed by Russia’s Vladimir Putin, before seating himself between the two heavily sanctioned leaders. The spectacle, carefully staged, was more about politics than pageantry. US President Donald Trump appeared rattled, posting on Truth Social to accuse Xi, Kim and Putin of conspiring against America just as the parade began. Analysts suggest this may have been exactly the provocation Xi intended. By placing Putin on his right and Kim on his left, Xi projected an image of an eastern-led alliance challenging the US-dominated world order. The symbolism went beyond military strength. It underscored China’s growing influence and Xi’s ambition […]

Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs

In a notice issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency confirmed that several electronic goods—most notably smartphones and semiconductors—will now be excluded from the 10% global tariff imposed by former President Donald Trump, as well as the steep China-specific import duties. This marks the first major relief from Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods, with some trade analysts calling it a “game-changing scenario.” The move follows increasing pressure from U.S. tech giants warning that production costs—and ultimately consumer prices—could surge due to the tariffs, as much of their manufacturing is based in China. While en route to Miami on Saturday, Trump told reporters he would share more details on the exemptions early next week. The tariff exclusions, retroactively effective from April 5, also cover a range of other electronics and components, such as memory cards, solar cells, and integrated […]
