Xi Jinping will visit Washington to meet with Trump, China-U.S. relations focus on trade truce and AI regulation

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Washington from September 23 to 25 to meet with U.S. President Trump. The two sides are expected to extend the one-year trade war truce agreement reached last year, but it may be difficult to see substantial results on major differences such as rare earths, AI regulation, technology exports, Taiwan arms sales and Iran issues. Experts believe that this meeting is more about managing a deadlock than seeking peace. The two sides have their own plans: Trump seeks orders for rare earths, agricultural products, and results to show off. White House officials hope to retain space for pressure on China on advanced technology, supply chains, and Taiwan issues. Xi Jinping hopes for tariff exemptions, technology access, and reduction of U.S. support for Taiwan, while buying time to reduce dependence on the United States. In the field of AI, leaders from both sides will meet with U.S. technology industry bosses, but regulatory consensus is difficult to reach due to mutual suspicion and competitive mentality, although both sides acknowledge the importance of discussing AI safety. In addition, it is difficult to break through the Iran-Taiwan issue. Beijing insists on opposing US arms sales to Taiwan and maintains cooperation through its influence on Iran, while Washington is worried that Beijing will use leverage to put pressure on Tehran. Overall, the summit may only maintain the status quo without any major breakthroughs.
