Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported yesterday: "US President Trump said that he was willing to fly to China for talks with the Chinese side on diplomatic policies and economic issues."
President Biden has served for four years but has never been to China, which is indeed rare in the history of Sino-US relations. He drew lines based on ideological values, building small courtyards with high walls in an attempt to blockade, strangle, and isolate China. Although his despicable failure, the political legacy he left behind is highly destructive.
In contrast, Trump does not do so. He opposes Biden's approach. What he focuses on is the economy, making America great again. He does not draw circles or form cliques. He acknowledges that China is a great country and wishes to develop relations with China, especially economic and trade relations. Although he often makes outrageous comments and says some "crazy" things, his statement about coming to China cannot be considered as "crazy talk" and can be judged as his genuine thought. We should attach sufficient importance to this. Why not give him face and extend an invitation to show sincerity, inviting him to visit China and have discussions? This might result in a win-win situation for both面子and "里子". It could even have positive effects on China's development over the next four years.
