He wanted to ease his way out of an unpopular war in Vietnam and to burnish his image with scenes of statesmanship. As his aides plotted TV coverage that might impress audiences at home, they suggested that the First Lady emerge from Air Force One wearing a bright-red overcoat, to stand out against the drabness of Communist Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=21\">Can the Democrats Take Back the Senate?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Chinese side made its own preparations. Mao Zedong\u2019s lieutenants, perhaps wary that they would appear fawning, staged an airport reception that was \u201cperfunctory by Chinese standards,\u201d Margaret MacMillan wrote in \u201cNixon and Mao,\u201d a history of the visit. They also set about exploiting the President\u2019s eagerness for a deal. As Patricia Kim, an expert on China\u2019s foreign policy at the Brookings Institution, told me recently, \u201cChinese leaders tend to press hardest when they sense advantage.\u201d In return for opening a new relationship, they persuaded Nixon to reduce support for their rivals in Taiwan. One American observer declared, \u201cThey got Taiwan; we got egg rolls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Donald Trump\u2019s limousine set out from the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing, heading to a summit with Mao\u2019s political descendant, Xi Jinping. A half century after Nixon\u2019s visit opened the way to a commercial renaissance, the Chinese capital is largely unrecognizable. Trump\u2019s limousine swept past miles of malls and office towers and residential skyscrapers before pulling up to the vast granite face of the Great Hall of the People, where Xi was waiting on a red carpet. In the nineteen-eighties, the C.I.A. commissioned a classified handbook titled \u201cChinese Political Negotiating Behavior,\u201d which warned readers to expect that their hosts would \u201cmanage the ambience so as to maximize the sense of gratitude, dependence, awe, and helplessness.\u201d The handbook offered blunt advice: \u201cResist the flattery.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Trump is less circumspect. Even though his last visit to Beijing was in 2017, he has still been reminiscing that Xi \u201ctreated me so well.\u201d Addressing an audience in February, he gushed, \u201cI never saw so many soldiers, all the same height, exactly the same height within a quarter of an inch.\u201d Trump has often spoken of Xi in tones of Presidential envy; though he has occasionally said he can \u201cdo anything I want\u201d about foreign policy and military deployments, he has often collided with limits that do not trouble his Chinese counterpart, including a free press, independent courts, and, during his years out of office, criminal prosecutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>When Trump returned to Beijing, the lineup of soldiers was on hand again, along with a twenty-one-gun salute, a military band, a crowd of children who jumped and waved flowers, and a synchronized phalanx of female troops in blue, white, and black uniforms. For nearly twenty minutes, Trump and Xi watched the performance, gesticulating and exchanging comments. On state TV, a scholar affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs observed that the visit was off to an encouraging start: \u201cThe two countries\u2019 leaders both have smiles on their faces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a time, it had seemed uncertain that the summit would happen at all. In March, Trump postponed it, citing the need to focus on resolving the war in Iran. But, as the conflict dragged on and Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, Trump\u2019s aides felt a growing urgency to fulfill his desire for a trip. (\u201cHe has always wanted to go to China and deal-make,\u201d a Republican close to the Trump Administration said.) The talk in Washington and Beijing was that Trump officials had a long list of issues that they hoped to address; they wanted the Chinese government to buy five hundred Boeing airplanes and to enable more purchases from Nvidia, the world\u2019s leading provider of microchips. They hoped to establish joint bodies on trade and investment. Most urgently, Trump wanted China to use its influence with Iran to reopen the Strait. He would have two days in Beijing to get it done.<\/p>\n<p>After the pageantry outside the Great Hall, Xi ushered his guest and his officials into a vast, high-ceilinged conference room. For a long moment, Marco Rubio, who serves as both Secretary of State and national-security adviser, gestured appreciatively at the elaborate decorations overhead. Nobody considered Rubio the lead player; the summit had been largely planned under the direction of the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Nicholas Burns, a former U.S. Ambassador to China, told me recently that this was an indicative breach of protocol. \u201cAny other summit since 1972 would have been organized by the Secretary of State,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is going to be a commercial, trade, economic summit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shift in focus was visible in the makeup of Trump\u2019s entourage. His first Administration was stocked with China hawks, including, at various points, the C.I.A. director Mike Pompeo and the national-security advisers H.\u00a0R. McMaster and John Bolton. For this trip, Trump featured more than a dozen chief executives, who he suggested were ready to make deals on tech, investment, and trade.<\/p>\n<p>Xi, who speaks in an unhurried rumble, opened by invoking his belief that the world is facing a \u201conce-in-a-century transformation.\u201d To anyone familiar with Xi\u2019s thinking, this was a blunt suggestion that the post-Second World War order dominated by the United States is collapsing. (Trump, listening to a translation through an earpiece, gave no indication that he caught the reference.) Having diminished America\u2019s prospects, Xi arrived at a more collaborative note: \u201cCan we join hands to address global challenges and inject more stability into the world?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>When it was Trump\u2019s turn, he touted the C.E.O.s he had brought with him and praised the pageantry as \u201can honor like few have ever seen before.\u201d After another handful of sentences, the press was ushered out.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=19\">Can Hakeem Jeffries Lead a Democratic Takeover of the House?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In fairness, most of the press was never there. Other than the Chinese state press, and a small pool of reporters who traditionally accompany American Presidents, many journalists rarely came closer to the action than a conference room several miles away. Most of the news emerged through Sean Hannity, the Fox News personality, who had flown to China aboard Air Force One. Fox broadcast Hannity as he interviewed Rubio and spoke to a succession of others close to the Administration. The coverage seemed fitting in Beijing, where the leaders of an authoritarian government operate at a remove from the public, delivering slogans through the state broadcaster.<\/p>\n<p>By the time Trump and Xi had arrived at their next event, a stroll through the tranquil environs of the Temple of Heaven, where emperors once prayed for good harvests, state media was putting out its first words about the meeting. It reported that Xi\u2019s \u201cmost important\u201d message to Trump concerned Taiwan: a warning to use the \u201cutmost caution\u201d so as to avoid \u201cclashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy.\u201d The White House\u2019s own statement about the meeting made no mention of Taiwan. Instead, it led with a sunnier interpretation: \u201cThe two sides discussed ways to enhance economic cooperation between our two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Washington, Trump rarely passes reporters without pausing to hold forth. In Beijing, he was less inclined to take questions. He did sit down with Hannity to announce that China had agreed to buy two hundred airplanes. (Attentive observers recalled that the original projection was five hundred; Boeing shares dropped more than four per cent.) Trump also told Hannity that he had pushed China to buy more American agricultural products. \u201cTalked about soybeans for our farmers,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cWhen you have that many people, they need it.\u201d When asked about discussions of China\u2019s program of industrial espionage, Trump complained that a \u201c60 Minutes\u201d reporter had posed a similar question before he left. He said that he\u2019d responded, \u201cThey spy on us, I said, we spy on them, too,\u201d and dismissed the reporter as a \u201cstupid person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The festivities were not without moments of cultural friction. The two sides\u2019 security teams fell into at least one dispute, when an American Secret Service officer wanted to bring a weapon into a restricted area. But the incidents paled beside the prospect of transactions. In the evening, Trump returned to the Great Hall of the People for a lavish state banquet, featuring roast duck. (The C.I.A. study of Chinese negotiation cited Henry Kissinger once telling his hosts, \u201cAfter a dinner of Peking duck I will agree to anything.\u201d) Over dinner, the leaders toasted each other, and Trump invited Xi to the White House later this year. Xi seemed a half step removed; he is not a man prone to displays of clubby kinship, though he has described Russia\u2019s President, Vladimir Putin, as his \u201cbest friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Trump left the hotel on the morning of his departure, the pool reporter on duty confessed to colleagues that, in the argot of White House coverage, \u201cPool did not lay eyes on <em>POTUS<\/em>.\u201d The motorcade crossed town to Zhongnanhai, a former imperial garden that is now the secretive headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party. Trump was there somewhere, but the pool reporter could convey little more than a message from the White House: \u201cPresident Trump will be met by His Excellency Xi Jinping,\u201d and the two \u201cwill participate in a Friendship photo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Xi and Trump walked into view of the assembled press, taking in the walled gardens and ornamented roofs. Xi mentioned that he \u201cvery rarely\u201d brought other heads of state there, then added, with a chuckle, \u201cFor example, Putin has been here.\u201d Trump marvelled at the size of Chinese roses, and Xi promised to give him seeds to plant in the White House garden. \u201cI like this place,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI could get used to this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They settled once more in an opulent meeting room, with a vast gold carpet. With Xi beside him, Trump said, \u201cThis has been an incredible visit. I think a lot of good has come of it. We\u2019ve made some fantastic trade deals, great for both countries.\u201d On the most pressing issue\u2014the war in Iran\u2014Trump suggested, vaguely, that the two leaders \u201cfeel very similar\u201d about it. \u201cWe want that to end,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want them to have a nuclear weapon. We want the straits open.\u201d But neither he nor Xi gave any indication that China had committed to pressuring Iran. Instead, Trump lingered on praise for his host. He called Xi \u201ca man I respect greatly\u201d and said he\u2019d \u201cbecome really a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Before long, Trump was in the air, bound for a refuelling stop in Alaska. On Air Force One, reporters asked about Taiwan. Trump said that he and Xi had discussed arms sales \u201cin great detail,\u201d and he dismissed a decades-old policy that the U.S. would not discuss arms sales to Taiwan with Beijing. \u201cI\u2019ll be making decisions,\u201d he added. \u201cBut, you know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that\u2019s nine thousand five hundred miles away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that the deal China was offering was, if not Taiwan for egg rolls, then something like Taiwan for a modest purchase of aircraft. It is unclear whether Trump took it, but he is surely as concerned as Nixon was with managing his image back home. Before Trump left China, someone evidently drew his attention to Xi\u2019s remarks about American decline. He wrote on Truth Social that it was a reference to the Biden Administration.\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=17\">All of a Sudden, the Glories of Cannes Are Upon Us<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evan Osnos on President Donald Trump\u2019s state visit to China, where he and the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, held talks that yielded potential deals for airplanes and soybeans but no apparent agreement on Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-lede"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
