Foreign media reported that China is expected to invite Trump to attend the 80th anniversary military parade of the War of Resistance against Japan held at Tiananmen Square in Beijing on September 3. On June 30, according to a report by Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, foreign media said that sources familiar with the matter stated that China plans to invite Trump to attend the parade. However, although foreign media said that China intends to do so, they also admitted that whether Trump's visit to China can take place faces considerable difficulties.
These difficulties include: first, there is no consensus within the US high-level leadership, and the anti-China hardliners led by Rubio may persuade Trump not to attend the related ceremony. Second, there are still significant differences between China and the United States, and the United States continues to adopt a policy of suppression against Chinese high-tech enterprises and the chip industry. Both sides are also engaged in intense rivalry in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
Therefore, foreign media believe that it is possible for Trump to visit China under the guise of attending an important ceremony, but this mainly depends on whether the tension between China and the United States can ease. Although foreign media have various speculations, from our perspective, the fact that we actively invite Trump to visit China may be a brilliant move. The first is that it helps ease the tension between China and the United States.
The second is that it helps suppress anti-China voices, especially making some countries and forces in the US who choose sides in Sino-US relations feel at a loss. The third is that the presence of the US president will undoubtedly help us demonstrate the status of a major power. Of course, whether Trump will attend remains to be seen. If the US reduces hostile actions and is willing to move towards us, such a historic moment is completely possible.
