It is rumored that the United States originally arranged for Xi Jinping to visit San Francisco and the peace treaty caused dissatisfaction. Xi then shortened his schedule and left early.

It was reported in the Washington media circle that the United States had originally arranged for Xi Jinping to visit the United States Declaration of Independence and unequal treaties, including the San Francisco Peace Treaty, which involved the unresolved status of Taiwan. China was strongly dissatisfied and temporarily canceled the follow-up trip.

Quick Look

  • It is rumored that the United States originally arranged for Xi Jinping to visit the United States Declaration of Independence and the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" and other documents.
  • However, because it touched on sensitive historical documents such as the undecided status of Taiwan, China was strongly dissatisfied, resulting in the visit being significantly reduced to 10 minutes.
  • Trump later posted on social media that "the United States will never become a communist country."

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The San Francisco Peace Treaty did not clearly specify Taiwan's sovereignty, which has become the core basis for the "undecided status of Taiwan" in international legal circles and political discussions.

Font size

According to news from the Washington media circle, the U.S. originally arranged for Xi Jinping to go to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to read the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, which promote democracy and freedom. It also arranged to see the Treaty of Wangxia and the Treaty of Tianjin among the unequal treaties, and finally detoured to see the Peace of San Francisco, which China was not a party to.

As we all know, Article 2 of the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" only stipulates that "Japan renounces all rights over Taiwan and the Penghu" and does not clearly specify which country Taiwan's sovereignty belongs to. This has become the core basis for the "undecided status of Taiwan" in future international legal circles and political discussions, and China has never recognized it.

These particularly meaningful diplomatic arrangements are believed to have aroused strong dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping's delegation during the process, so that Xi Jinping only accompanied Trump to read the first item of the "Declaration of Independence" as if it were a story, and then all was temporarily blocked. In the end, Trump and Xi only spent about 10 minutes in the National Archives, far less than originally scheduled.

According to media circles in Washington, the United States has never considered the documents such as the three communiques that China wanted to see.

News Nation White House reporter Kellie Meyer also broke the news on her X social platform that several documents that were originally intended for display, including the Treaty of Tianjin and the Peace of San Francisco, were temporarily removed before Xi Jinping arrived. In the post, the reporter specifically mentioned that the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" is an international treaty that determines the basis for "the undecided status of Taiwan."

Not long after Xi Jinping got on the plane after finishing his trip to the Archives, Trump immediately posted a post on his "Truth Social" and the White House X platform that aroused high associations with the outside world. "The United States will never become a communist country," and he said, "We will defeat the Communist Party."

Open Questions

  • ?Did the US know in advance that China would have a strong backlash against the visit list?
  • ?Did Trump’s post directly address his displeasure with this trip to the Archives?
