Donald Trump once boasted on social media that Chinese
President Xi Jinping would offer him a "big, fat
hug" ahead of his upcoming trip to China.
However, Beijing's extensive economic ties to Iran,
alongside persistent trade tensions stemming from Mr Trump's first term,
threaten to dampen any anticipated warmth when he arrives this week.
This comes despite Mr Trump's long-standing praise for Mr
Xi, whom he views as a formidable leader deserving of his respect.
Known for his aversion to lengthy travel, Mr Trump is
expected to spend only parts of three days on Chinese soil.
While some ceremonial grandeur is anticipated, the visit is
unlikely to replicate the lavish "state visit-plus" reception Beijing
afforded him in 2017.
Jonathan Czin, a former director for China at
the National Security Council during the Biden administration, observed:
"Even before this whole conflagration with Iran, they weren’t going to go
state visit-plus like last time, just because things are tense".
That earlier trip saw China extend a full red-carpet
welcome, complete with military music, flag-waving children, and chants of
"Welcome".
Xi offered a tour of the Forbidden City. Trump and first
lady Melania Trump even had a private dinner there. Trump was the first foreign
leader since the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949 to experience
what was once reserved for emperors.
The following morning brought another welcome ceremony at
the Great Hall of the People and featured a military parade. There also was a
state banquet in Trump’s honor with video highlights from the Chinese leader’s
previous visit to Florida and a clip of Trump’s granddaughter Arabella singing
in Chinese.
Beijing does not offer this level of spectacle to most
visiting foreign leaders. When British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited the
Forbidden City in January, Xi did not attend and the site remained open to the
public. Starmer had to contend with tourists.
Ali Wyne, senior U.S.-China research and advocacy adviser
for the Washington nonprofit the Crisis Group, said the “Chinese delegation
will likely do its utmost to ensure that Trump leaves Beijing believing that he
has just concluded the most extraordinary state visit of his two presidencies”.
But, he said, the “pomp and circumstance would serve a
different role now than they did when he first visited Beijing” because “Xi has
a much better understanding of Trump, and the administration’s own national
security strategy and national defense strategy recognize China as a
near-peer”.

Expectations for what gets accomplished could be lower this
time, said Czin, now a fellow at the Brookings Institution.
He predicted that the Chinese may not offer major
breakthroughs on trade or anything else because they are “working backward from
our midterm elections” with the theory that the closer they get to Election Day
“the more leverage they are going to have”.
The GOP is focused on retaining control of Congress, even as
polling shows most Americans are unhappy with Trump’s economic policies and
believe that the United States went too far in Iran. Still, the White House
argues that Trump's previous firm hand with Beijing on tariffs — which the
Supreme Court subsequently struck down — means the U.S. will remain in a strong
position.
“President Trump cares about results, not symbols"
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said. “But even still, the president has a
great relationship with President Xi, and the upcoming summit in Beijing will
be both symbolically and substantively significant”.
Trump could meet with China's leader four times in eight
months.
After his visit to Beijing, Trump plans to host Xi at the
White House. Trump might also attend the November Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation meeting in Shenzhen, China. And Xi could come to the Group of 20
summit the following month at Trump’s resort in Doral, Florida.
Czin noted that Xi also is not very fond of travel, meaning
not all of the planned encounters may happen. He said China's leader also does
not “do personal connections" like the kind Trump relishes, noting Xi led
a Chinese military purge in January that included replacing officials with
long-standing personal ties to his family.

Wyne, though, said Xi also “appreciates that he is unlikely
to deal with another U.S. president who admires him as greatly and embraces as
narrow a view of strategic competition.”
That means Xi may "attempt to pocket as many economic
and security concessions from Trump as possible,” Wyne said.
“was actually a really good ... I don’t want to say
‘friend’. I don’t want to act foolish. ‘He was my friend’. But I got along with
him great”.
Trump even suggested at the time that military force might
not be required to ensure that Chinese troops do not encroach on Taiwan, simply
because China’s leader "respects me” despite Trump more recently
discussing potentially selling arms to Taiwan.
Trump has continued to praise the bilateral relationship
since returning to the White House, even after his Beijing visit, originally
scheduled for March, was postponed due to the early stages of the Iran war.
He unsuccessfully prodded China to get involved in reopening
the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian forces choked it off and disrupted global
economies. But China did use its leverage as the largest purchaser of Iranian
oil to encourage Iran to agree to what has been a fragile ceasefire.

Beijing has strong economic ties to Tehran, and the war
could hurt its economy, which was already projected to grow more slowly. If
China can help establish lasting peace, though, that might boost its standing
in negotiations on trade issues with the Trump administration.
During his 2017 visit, Trump announced $250 billion in
nonbinding trade deals, some of which never materialized. A round of trade
deals announced in 2020 and worth $200 billion mostly never came to fruition
before Trump's first term ended.
More recently, Trump’s announcement last year of steep
global tariffs prompted China to cut off purchases of U.S. soybeans and clamp
down on exports of rare earth minerals needed by American factories.
Tensions have eased somewhat since the U.S. reached a trade
truce last fall that has limited tariffs on both sides. The administration has
continued to make reducing the U.S. trade deficit with China a priority,
insisting it can do so while still working to encourage trade between the two
countries.
“I expect great stability in the relationship,"
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. "But that doesn’t mean our trade
deficit can’t continue dropping”.
Kelly, the White House spokeswoman, said Trump “doesn’t
travel anywhere without bringing deliverables home to our country".
"Americans can expect the president to deliver more
good deals for the United States while in China” she said.
