The UK media claims that China has invited Trump to visit China! On September 14, the UK's Financial Times quoted sources saying that China has invited U.S. President Trump to visit China. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called U.S. Secretary of State Rubio on Wednesday (the 10th), and analysts believe this is creating atmosphere and conditions for a high-level meeting between China and the United States. After the meeting, Rubio also told the media that both sides have a "strong willingness" to hold a summit between leaders.
Therefore, the UK media believes that although the White House has not responded yet, it cannot be ruled out that Trump will visit China. How do we view this report by the UK media? To be honest, we have no official statement regarding whether or not Trump was invited to visit China. Considering the current state of Sino-U.S. relations, the probability of Trump visiting China is extremely low. First, Trump is urging NATO member states to impose additional taxes on us, and his fickle attitude on tariff issues is evident.
Secondly, before the Sino-U.S. negotiations, the United States imposed sanctions on multiple Chinese entities in areas such as semiconductors, biotechnology, aerospace, and commercial logistics. Their extortion and coercive behavior has not changed at all. Thirdly, under these circumstances, Sino-U.S. economic and trade negotiations are undoubtedly shrouded in great shadows. If the United States does not lower tariffs on us and cancel the technological sanctions against us, we would not invite Trump to visit China.
In short, if Sino-U.S. relations are not on the correct track, then Trump not only would not visit China, but even the probability of high-level meetings between China and the United States would be very low. For Trump, he wants to gain huge benefits while trying to portray himself as an all-powerful figure who can handle everything. However, this play seems more like a one-sided fantasy of Trump himself.
