Why It Matters
Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the United States from the 23rd to the 25th local time, and was received by U.S. President Trump with a high standard. Many U.S. members of Congress questioned the inappropriateness of the move, believing that Xi Jinping is a brutal dictator and that the Chinese Communist Party supports Russia and Iran and threatens democratic partners such as Taiwan.

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the United States from the 23rd to the 25th local time, and was received by U.S. President Trump with a high standard, triggering discussion from the outside world. Several members of the U.S. Congress have questioned whether Trump should remember that he is hosting a brutal, unelected and repressive dictator at a time when China is backing U.S. adversaries Russia and Iran and threatening America’s democratic partner Taiwan. In this regard, Ye Yaoyuan, chair professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in the United States, said, how many times does it have to be said before everyone understands it? As a competitor of the United States, it is normal to receive Xi Jinping with high standards.
Ye Yaoyuan said in a Facebook post, how many times does it have to be said before everyone understands it? As a competitor of the United States, it is normal to receive Xi Jinping with high standards. Xi Jinping needs the courtesy of the United States so that he can show off to the country and promote internal propaganda; Trump needs this meeting to shift the focus of the Iran conflict; the world also hopes to see that the United States and China are at least willing to talk and not fight directly.

Ye Yaoyuan pointed out, but does this mean that the US-China summit can produce any results? The answer must be no. China's national interest is to replace the hegemony of the United States, and the national interest of the United States is to maintain its own hegemony. Can any constructive conclusion be drawn from these two conflicting situations? Since the start of the trade war in 2018 until now, when has the United States really let go of China? Is China willing to listen to the United States just because the United States extended an olive branch?
Ye Yaoyuan said bluntly that after figuring out this core issue, the rest is just to watch their acting.
