Il presidente della Cina torna a Washington per una visita di Stato accompagnato dalla consorte. La first lady cinese passerà del tempo con Melania durante il vertice: le due hanno in programma una visita insieme al National Museum of Asian Art. In serata le coppie presidenziali partecipano al banchetto di Stato

La first lady cinese, Peng Liyuan, torna sotto i riflettori internazionali e arriva alla Joint Base Andrews insieme al marito Xi Jinping, di nuovo in visita di Stato a Washington dopo 11 anni. La Casa Bianca ha allestito per loro una cerimonia ufficiale, dopo la quale è previsto il vertice tra il presidente cinese e quello statunitense. Con i due leader impegnati nei colloqui, Peng ha in programma una visita allo Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art insieme a Melania Trump. Le first lady si riuniranno ai mariti in serata, al banchetto di Stato. Il programma diplomatico prosegue venerdì mattina, quando le coppie presidenziali prenderanno parte a un tè privato nella Red Room della Casa Bianca.

Nota in Cina con il soprannome di "Mamma Peng"

Un tempo celebre soprano dell’Esercito popolare di liberazione, nota in Cina come "Mamma Peng", Peng ha segnato un netto contrasto rispetto alle first lady che l’hanno preceduta, figure più austere e riservate. Sin dall’insediamento del marito nel 2013, ha accompagnato regolarmente Xi nei viaggi all’estero, svolgendo un ruolo di "soft power" volto a migliorare l’immagine globale della Cina. Ha attirato l’attenzione internazionale non solo per il suo stile, ma anche per il suo impegno attivo nella promozione della salute e del benessere sociale, nonché negli scambi culturali.

Xi Jinping alla Casa Bianca da Trump, i temi chiave dell’incontro

Il debutto nel 2013 con un viaggio in Russia con Xi

Peng ha debuttato sulla scena internazionale come first lady durante un viaggio in Russia nel 2013. Nel 2015 fu accolta dall’allora first lady americana Michelle Obama che, su suggerimento della responsabile degli eventi della Casa Bianca, Deesha Dyer, aveva ingaggiato il cantante R&B Ne-Yo sapendo che Peng ne apprezzava la musica. Durante la cena di stato la stessa Peng si unì a Ne-Yo per un duetto. A novembre 2017, ha affiancato Xi per accogliere Donald e Melania Trump alla Città Proibita di Pechino, guidandoli attraverso le sale storiche e accompagnandoli durante le esibizioni dell’Opera di Pechino. L’ultima visita congiunta di Xi e Peng a Washington risale al 2015; in quell’occasione, la First Lady cinese visitò il Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre, auspicando "maggiori opportunità di collaborazione e di condivisione di conoscenze per affrontare le sfide globali in ambito sanitario".

Trump welcomes Xi Jinping to Joint Base Andrews for the third summit in a year

Donald Trump received Chinese President Xi Jinping directly on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, in a rare ceremony for a foreign leader. The two met in the presence of first ladies Melania Trump and Peng Liyuan, with a guard of honor and US military jets present. The topics of Taiwan, the war in Iran, artificial intelligence and economic and national security interests were at the center of the summit. Xi stressed the need for partnership rather than rivalry between the two countries, citing friendly exchanges and intertwined interests. This is the third meeting in a year between the leaders of China and the US, aged 73 and 80 respectively, after the stalemate following the May meeting in Beijing on tariffs. The meeting could lead to an extension of the trade truce expiring in November, following talks on Sunday in New York between He Lifeng and Scott Bessent. According to Chinese sources cited by Reuters, Xi will ask Trump to stop US arms sales to Taiwan, recalling the 1982 agreement, and to interrupt deliveries of armaments already ordered by Taipei worth around 14 billion dollars. In exchange, China would offer greater cooperation on the Iranian issue. Tariffs and AI will also be discussed, with possible increases in Chinese purchases of US agricultural products, while AI safety expectations are low. On the eve of the summit, Chinese Ambassador to the US Xie Feng said that China has red lines on Taiwan, human rights, development paths and the right to development, which cannot be crossed, stressing that mutual cooperation brings benefits, while confrontation harms both.
