In Beijing, the two extremes meet after a dark series on customs rights

Donald Trump made his first official visit to China in nearly nine years, marking a direct dialogue between Beijing and Washington after years of tensions. During a banquet, Xi Jinping expressed the possibility of cooperation between the two countries, while Trump highlighted trade agreements, including a 200-plane order from Boeing and an increase in Chinese purchases of American agricultural products. This meeting underscores the contradictions between economic cooperation and global strategic competition.
