Trump Arrives in China for Historic Visit Amid Tensions Over Taiwan and Trade

Beijing: US President Donald Trump arrived in China on a historic visit after a long gap of almost ten years, where the meeting between the world's two largest superpowers marked a turning point in global politics. Donald Trump was given a red carpet welcome and a grand welcome with military bands at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. However, behind this intimacy was also clearly seen the great tension between the two leaders on sensitive issues such as Taiwan and trade. Xi Jinping called him a "friend." But the stalemate over Taiwan: At the beginning of the meeting, Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping and addressed him as a "strong leader" and "friend." Trump hoped that the US-China relationship could be better than ever. On the other hand, Xi Jinping also urged the two countries to work as partners instead of rivals. But, as soon as the issue of Taiwan came up, Xi Jinping warned that the sensitive issue between the two countries could not be handled in a very sensitive manner.
