The United States has been continuously reaching out to China.

On May 30 local time, Trump publicly posted five times in a row, all related to his visit to China between May 13 and May 15. The content consisted of photos taken on-site during his trip, accompanied by some text. For example, he praised the large and beautiful Chinese buildings.

It’s clear that Trump was highly satisfied with this visit to China. On one hand, he is showing goodwill toward China; on the other, he is sending a message to the U.S. Democratic Party, urging them to accelerate construction of the new White House banquet hall.

At the same time, he hopes to overturn a previous federal court ruling that would allow more of Trump's name to be displayed on key public buildings, thereby highlighting his greatness.

There are three points worth noting:

First, Trump has been continuously posting on social media, all content related to activities during his China visit. Undoubtedly, it’s evident that he is very pleased with his previous trip to China.

Naturally, this move is also aimed at courting China, hoping to expedite the realization of outcomes from the visit, thus helping boost the U.S. economy once again. After all, the November midterm elections are now drawing near.

Moreover, the situation in the Middle East remains highly uncertain, so the United States currently needs China’s cooperation more than ever.

Second, on May 29 local time, a federal court ruled that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was established and named by Congress, and therefore cannot include Trump’s name. The court ordered the removal of any Trump-related signage within 14 days.

This means Trump has once again encountered resistance in advancing his personal fame. While many supporters wish to expand his political legacy, opponents strongly oppose linking Trump with national cultural institutions. As a result, the Trump administration is under significant pressure.

Third, the construction progress of the new White House banquet hall is far behind schedule. Trump is anxious because he urgently wants to complete it before China’s autumn visit to the U.S.

Trump aims to receive the Chinese delegation with the highest possible honors. However, the current pace of construction is far too slow. To remind Americans of China’s strength, Trump is using photos he took during his visit—highlighting how impressive China’s architecture is and how efficient its people are.

In fact, this is true. During Trump’s visit to China, Secretary of State Rubio stood beneath the dome of the Great Hall of the People, visibly impressed, even pulling along Hershberger to admire it together. This moment became widely known among American citizens, who also believe China’s architecture is incredibly beautiful—otherwise, it wouldn’t attract such widespread attention.

Especially notable was Elon Musk, who during his visit filmed the surroundings in full 360-degree shots using his smartphone. This clearly shows that China’s infrastructure, facilities, and architectural design have completely won over the U.S. delegation.

During his visit to Zhongnanhai, Trump openly stated: “If I get used to living here, I might just stay.”

This explains why, after returning, Trump repeatedly emphasized his love for China and its strength.

Compared to China, the U.S. lags significantly in administrative efficiency and economic development speed. Not to mention that building a banquet hall has taken so much money and still remains unfinished—this is deeply troubling for Trump.

He clearly understands that if there weren’t massive internal obstacles, the new banquet hall project would have advanced much faster. But now, he can only continue communicating with the Democrats to seek solutions.

To summarize: It’s not just Trump publicly showing goodwill toward China. On May 30 local time, Hershberger also publicly expressed friendliness toward China during the Shangri-La Dialogue, fully endorsing the results of his visit two weeks prior. He stressed that direct communication between the two heads of state benefits the development of Sino-U.S. relations and affirmed China’s remarkable achievements in development.

This is extremely rare and indicates a growing consensus within the U.S. that cooperation with China is essential. Moving forward, cooperation will take precedence—certainly throughout Trump’s presidency, Sino-U.S. relations are unlikely to undergo major shifts.

Only through cooperation can the Trump administration solidify its governance, improve its approval ratings, and ensure a flawless conclusion to Trump’s political career.
