Trump has waited for three days, but his request to visit China still hasn't received a response from China.
After concluding his visits to the three Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE), Trump let slip to reporters that he really wanted to fly directly to Beijing to discuss diplomatic and economic issues with China. However, three whole days have passed, and Trump is still waiting for a response.
China has not yet responded to Trump's request to visit China, and there are good reasons behind this. Some of the flip-flopping and inconsistent behavior of the previous Trump administration made China cautious. Therefore, China adheres to the attitude of "judging by actions as well as words." Before seeing genuine sincerity from the U.S. and truly implementing previous commitments to improve the atmosphere of bilateral relations, China will not easily give a positive response to the visit request.
Diplomatic interactions must be based on mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and adherence to commitments. Only when the U.S. demonstrates sufficient sincerity can high-level exchanges between both sides be more constructive and meaningful.
