Trump met with Xi Jinping

[BigTarget]

It seems a good gesture to me that Mr. Trump is finding an alternative way to stop the war and open the Strait of Hormuz by one way or the other. However trump could have made the concern visit a month or two ago in order to stabilize the economy of the world.

Although it’s too late but better late than never. Hence proved that might is right. Look at the body language of Donald Trump. How does he meet a person of his level and how did he taunted and threatened the leader of UKRAIN. Isn’t it a bit weird? What is your point of view?

[Myleschetty]

According to what I've read, this was President Donald Trump's first official visit to China during his second term. Both Trump and Xi Jinping gave a positive account of the meeting, but given that it was about bilateral discussions, trade and economic relations, the war in Iran, Taiwan, technology, artificial intelligence, and other regional issues, I hope they are being sincere.

It was quite necessary that they accept themselves in what aspect they are better than each other thanks the background of the whole visit from my understanding, and from what I  guessing the meeting was successful and no disagreement in large scale, market might surge high from tomorrow market opening. But however, this visit might force the US government to consider the law of putting every citizen into military training.

He was the one who started this war and was the reason the Strait of Hormuz was closed. If he want everything to go back to the way it was, all he need to do is stop invading Iran and withdraw his troops from the strait. He did not need to complicate things further by running around looking for help or solution.

He tied the bell, so he is the one who has to untie it, nobody else is going to clean up his mess for him.

Backing off will be much more difficult for Donald Trump most especially when you're more egotistic than intelligent. Also when you will do anything for the sake of of rich billionaires and campaign donors.

Whatever happens, the Iranians are still in control and ready to hit their allies and asset in the middle east. For now, everybody observing. They have further moved to their evil plans on Cuba and Bolivia.

One can be sincere if they're also going to talk about peace talks. But if it's only meant business for Trump then the sincerity he's got is only for the economy of the USA and not for the peace that they can contribute in the regions where they are involved. One is for the gulf area and also in the South China Sea where Taiwan is being watched. And just after that meeting in China, I've seen headlines that he's posted again related to these territories. We just hope that there's really movement in the Strait for this meeting since China is a friend to Iran and these bilateral talks they're making is for sure for their own gains.

Considering the recent tension between the two countries since Trump's election. The meeting between the two sides was considered a success as no further disagreements or tension arose.

However, it seems that no major breakthrough or notable bilateral agreement was announced after the meeting. Therefore, do not expect too much and assume the market will react positively to that news.

...
The U.S. President reportedly just met with Xi Jinping. A grand welcome ceremony was held in Beijing in honor of Donald Trump. And Trump seemed very pleased with the reception he received. But this meeting is quite contradictory given the frequent disputes between the leaders of these two superpowers. Some media news have linked the meeting to the trade war between the two countries. But others have linked it to the U.S. conflict with Iran. The White House stated that the meeting was to discuss ways to enhance economic cooperation. I personally believe that Trump has set his ego aside by attempting to negotiate peacefully in order to improve the U.S. economy. And it seems that the U.S. conflict with Iran has had a significant impact, where it forcing Trump to seek China’s assistance in addressing the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz given that Beijing has ties with Tehran so far. What are your thoughts?

Hmm, you are right here, as I also believe that this meeting is a perfect contradictory reflection and is a play of politics. What news and sources are telling that they arranged this meeting to enhance the best relationship between both countries and to plan such steps that can boost both countries' economies. But I am expecting more important things here that should be an Iran-US conflict solution through some edge. As we all know, these days the whole world is suffering the result of the conflict between these two countries in the form of inflation.

The stoppage of the war is more important than any other topic at the current time. Well, as far as i now that, there is no official announcement of such kind of discussion between the two countries, and even no meida cover and discloses any new information regarding this matter. Or maybe I am missing this part of the update here. Have they discussed anything on this matter? If so, I would like to know.

As far as I understand, the leaders of China and the United States have agreed to continue their "war," but to wage it in a more civilized manner. The Chinese leader has not committed to putting pressure on Iran. Iran is his ally and an instrument of constant pressure on the United States.

In short, the United States and China have agreed not to engage in direct military conflict, at least for now. The war will be waged through proxy countries. This is very advantageous for China, as it considers itself not yet ready to declare itself the most powerful force in the world. The Chinese mentality does not allow problems to be resolved by brute force. The Chinese even have a proverb: "If you sit by the river for too long, an enemy corpse will float by."

At the same time, the United States and China are very closely linked economically. This dependence (probably) puts great pressure on them, but they cannot sever it overnight. China wants to possess the same number of nuclear weapons as the United States and Russia. It also wants to become the absolute leader in artificial intelligence. It will take time to solve these problems.  In my opinion, time is now on China's side, not the US's.🤷

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 President Trump says China agreed to buy 200 Boeing $BA planes.

Yet the Boeing stock is plummeting.
So usual shenanigans. Nothing new.

Because why would anyone believe him? Even if he thinks he had made a deal, he probably exaggerated it, or just misunderstood, or dreamed it. When he is talking about money, numbers or economy, you can just assume that he is making those numbers up or increasing them to impress people.

And track record of his lies only to impress his followers, who for some reason believe him. I wonder if there's a polymarket bet about this one, because it sounds like an easy money.

Since the visit of Donald Trump to China, I have noticed the media talking a lot about the Thucydides Trap statement made by Xi Jinping. I had to look up the meaning myself and it basically refers to the tension that happens when a rising power starts challenging an existing superpower. In today’s world, many people see China as the rising power while the US is trying to maintain its global dominance. I think this explains why, despite all the trade wars and political disagreements, both countries still need to sit down and cooperate because the global economy is too connected now. Issues like the Iran conflict, oil supply concerns, inflation and weak markets can affect both sides badly. So this meeting feels less about friendship and more about both powers trying to avoid global instability while still competing for influence and control.

Alright. Since the Cold War between the two countries involves trade, technology, military posturing, and influence, let's hope it ends. However, if the Taiwan issue is never resolved, there's a good chance that the two presidents will carry on with their cold war. Their decision regarding Iran, which involves nuclear weapons, is another issue that worries me. The Iranian government is not prepared to comply, and it is unclear how the Chinese government's position will affect the Iranian decision.

No significant agreements were signed during Trump's visit to China and neither side expressed any expectations. Therefore, we can assume that the US President did not achieve what he expected from China. The US administration wants to apply imperialist policies to every country, but China does not appreciate their policies very much. There has been a long standing cold war between the two countries, which we mostly see as a trade war. China's technological development and commercial expansion and economic development are among the strongest in the world. The US administration has been implementing sanctions and tariffs on China for a long time but has not been able to stop China's progress.

It is true that there has not been much tension between the two countries, but I think Donald Trump has not been very satisfied with China. Trump is preparing for war again and threatening Iran every day. Maybe a major attack will be launched on Iran soon.

Yes, you are right here, China is growing very faster as compare to the US. And we also know that the US is now very much dependent on China in many sectors of production. As the majority of big-name, famous brands of the US are being manufactured in China, and their industries are also in China. So it would not be wrong to say that China can be considered the backbone of the US. What do you say? The rest of your other point is also valid here, as I also believe that patience is the key to overcoming many problems.

And do you know that China buys its big reserves of oil from Iran? Even Iran is not allowed to sell its oil to any country. And yes, China supplies its weapons to Iran through proxy countries. And according to my best knowledge, China uses the Caspian Sea to import and export anything to and from Iran. The Caspian Sea is the largest lake in the world that connects many countries, and through this path, China easily does its work with Iran.

It was a shocking event haha because they both hate each other. I don't know about Xi Jinping but Trump doesn't like them. Also there have been some activities that Chinese performed to show some disrespect to Trump, like the chair on which Xi Jinping was sitting was adjusted and it was a bit higher than Trump's. I wonder if that was on purpose. Also he did not receive them at the airport, so these are political moves to disrespect each other that a normal person might not care about but sooner Xi Jinping will also be visiting Trump in the US and then we will see what Trump will do, if his chair will be a little higher than Xi's then he noticed it and is trying to take revenge.

Although there have been talks between them regarding trade and especially about Iran, they asked China to stop providing them with the equipment that is being used against the US then, and they agreed. Also there has been some development seen in Iran too, they are opening their markets after a long time, they stopped them when the war started, which is a sign that the Bitcoin market is independent of such control and can't be closed or started like this thus could never be directly impacted by the war.

Yeah is true there is currently a decline in the market which suggest that my predictions didn’t go as I expected it but it’s not too late for things to happen but seems that maybe the two countries didn’t get a good positioning on the issues however, I suspect that the new statement or warning issued by trump on his social media (X) formerly twitter, to Iran is quite the reason for the failed prediction. We still have to watch out things can happen at any given moment.

<...>

The one who appears a beggar here is Trump and his group. Who on earth goes on a trip with some top CEOs/Billionaires to have talks with the president of a nation they have been considering an enemy for years?

It's mostly the Iranian war that is pushing US to look for more desperate measures. On the other side China appears to be more and more stable and is commanding a lot of influence without firing any missiles to other countries.

[Minor Miner]

It was a shocking event haha because they both hate each other.

They compete with each other, dislike each other, and are rivals. That does not mean they can not meet and collaborate. The United States remains China's largest export market, and China remains the United States' primary supplier. Both need each other for the benefit of the nation, and that is how the economy works. Therefore, their meeting was a predictable event, only a matter of time, and not at all shocking.

However, Trump's proactive decision to visit Beijing first shows that the United States is not in a better position than China in this competition, as they claim.
This is not a battle for survival. It is a war of who can hold out longer, and it looks like Trump is already blinking first.

The Caspian Sea is the largest lake in the world that connects many countries, and through this path, China easily does its work with Iran.

China lacks direct access to the Caspian Sea. However, China has very good partnership relations with Kazakhstan (some even call Kazakhstan a political and economic vassal of China). Therefore, China interacts with Iran through the Kazakh port of Aktau. 🙋

As for oil, it is transported by the so-called "shadow fleet." The Caspian Sea is too shallow to transport oil. However, the Strait of Hormuz is open to Chinese vessels. Meanwhile, the United States is trying to put pressure on China precisely through the threat of escalating hostilities in the Middle East. The Chinese economy is critically dependent on oil from this region...

In short, we live in a global world in which all economies are interconnected. Therefore, mutual hostility leads to harm for everyone. However, this doesn't stop the leadership of the superpowers. For example, the US administration is very concerned about China's rise. They view it as an existential threat. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and the Chairman of the Communist Party of China are incredibly pragmatic people.  And in difficult situations, they will prefer to solve their problems at the expense of citizens of other countries. They will protect their own countries from destruction (in my opinion).

I never said they could not meet and that's why I said it was a shocking event, not something impossible like South Korean and North Korean presidents sitting together. It was shocking but not impossible. As a matter of fact, this meeting was necessary for the long term benefits of both countries. Just like you indicated, they need each other so meetings like these are necessary even if they don't like each other. Their country's system demands them to meet.

I won't speculate on this event to say which one was in a better position because both were in a better position, but China is doing too well or they are too good at isolating news. Either way, the final result of the meeting is yet to be determined. The war is still on.
