Trump met with Xi Jinping

[Cheema02]

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.

China becomes the most powerful country in the world even American companies rely on Chinese manufacturing because its cost is very friendly. And its not totally right to say that USA completely depends on China because in reality both countries are dependent on each other by technology and trade. As USA leads due to advance technology and innovation while China is famous for large scale manufacturing. China has friendly relations with Iran and both countries trade instead of sanctions because China's oil requirement is fulfill by Iran. China required an huge amount of oil to run industries at large scale. So both countries trade in local currencies instead of US dollar. For transportation Caspian sea have very important route so smart diplomacy and patience is most important to maintain the global political challenges.

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.

The China export more product to US and it benefits the China more than it benefit the US. This is why anytime the US felt threaten by some actions of China, they raised the Tarrif just to get China to cooperate because they know the China need US market than US need China market. If the US decided not to trade With China, a lot will affect the China than it will affect the US because there alternative market for US but of course they wouldn't have it cheaper like they do in China.

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.

They buy from Iran but payment are settled in dollars, this is what Iran want to break. They want to continue to sell to China purposely to get back at US, they want the oil trade be settled in Yuan so US will feel threaten by this action. A replacement of petrodollar will weaken the purchasing power US currency and I'm sure the China don't want to go down that route. As much as I don't like US and their ways of business, it will affect China if they move that way.

I am sure we have all seen the news of the meeting, what everyone would be looking forward to are the implications and results of this high stake meeting between Washington and Beijing.

A couple of issues would be brought up in this meeting, but i think the most crucial of all would be their trade relationship. These are the two largest economies in the world, so collaboration would benefit them both, rather than a trade/tariff war.

China is the biggest customer of Iranian oil, so definitely the Iran v U.S. war would also be discussed as the implications concern China too, though i doubt Iran would reopen the Strait until the terms of resolution is "fair" to them.

I think you are very correct, the trade relationship between China, and US is very crutial, and could be their topmost discussion. Furthermore, because of the relationship between China, and Iran, China would likely give support to the Iranian government since they are also having strong trade relationship as a result of oil or petroleum products.
Trump visit to China is very necessary, because they could discuss on how to improve the US economy. Many countries are being affected as a result of this trade war going on between US, and Iran. If this matter will be part of their discussion, it will be a welcomed development.

Trump, Putin, everyone is moving towards China. In fact, looking at their position, it is not clear who has a good or bad relationship with them. However, in the world, China is now economically and technologically advancing much more. Most of the world's innovative technologies are also being developed in their country. They do not need the help of America or other countries for anything. This has made them a more powerful country. Maybe in the future, China will be one of the powerful countries in the world in all aspects, where America wants to control the whole world and America's friendly countries follow their word.  In the future, this will not happens  . Maybe there will be some change we can see the world powerful country .

The US finds itself in a position where it needs the assistance of China. Top US officials have publicly asked for US assistance in the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have appealed to China to use its influence on Iran to open that important passage. China was more prepared for this because they have stockpiled enough oil, diversified supply chains, and increased domestic production.

From the look of things, Trump needs Xi Jinping more than the latter needs him.

The power dynamic of this visit was visible before a single word was spoken. Trump flew to Beijing with 20 CEOs. Xi sent his vice president to the airport.

One side needed the meeting more than the other. The seating arrangements confirmed it.

One side needed the meeting more than the other. The seating arrangements confirmed it.

In most important diplomatic visits, heads of state usually do not personally go to the airport to receive guests. Instead, this task is typically handled by lower ranking official. Similarly, they sent Foreign Minister Wang Yi to welcome Putin two day earlier.

However, they still show more respect for Putin than for Trump. In Chinese politics, Wang Yi is in charge of all of China's foreign affairs and holds greater political power than Han Zheng. And as you said, the ceremonies and receptions afterward showed that they did not hold Trump in particularly high regard

The China export more product to US and it benefits the China more than it benefit the US.

Are you sure? Both need each other, but as I said in recent times, what I have analyzed US needs more china then china needs the US. China has a big market that is cheap, and it doesn't solely trade with the US; many other international countries also trade with China on a very large scale. But here we are talking about the US and China, so let's talk starting within this domain. In the recent trade war, when the US implemented 125% tarrif on China, then according to some reports, chineses industuries announce to threaten by declaring the US item costs that are manufactured in China. iPhone costs only a few dollars to the company, but it sells thousands on its launch date. At the same time, China also threatened to declare some other big brands' manufacturing costs that sell in the 10k-30k range in the US. So, the US made a lot of revenue in this way, depending on China. It is not like China doesn't have any benefit in all that; indeed china also has a big benefit in it, but at this time, the US seems to be more dependent on China in my point of view.

They buy from Iran but payment are settled in dollars, this is what Iran want to break. They want to continue to sell to China purposely to get back at US, they want the oil trade be settled in Yuan so US will feel threaten by this action. A replacement of petrodollar will weaken the purchasing power US currency and I'm sure the China don't want to go down that route. As much as I don't like US and their ways of business, it will affect China if they move that way.

Yes, I agree with you here. And at this time, Iran is finding some ways to trade its oil/goods in some alternative currency, and as you said, in recent reports, they are considering the use of the Yuan and Bitcoin for international trade so that they can reduce the dominance of the US dollar in the international market. Mark my word, I believe that the US dollar will be worth nothing in the coming time due to many factors. What do you think about it?
