US President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for the first official visit by an American leader to China in nearly a decade. This critical three-day summit with President Xi Jinping is expected to center on the escalating Iran conflict and shared concerns over Middle East stability. Beyond security, the leaders will navigate complex economic issues including AI competition, trade tariffs, and the security of global supply chains. This historic visit serves as a pivotal moment in Trump’s second term, aiming to manage the deep strategic rivalry between the two superpowers through direct, high-level diplomacy.
