Trump just had a dream last night that Xi will visit the USA in the 'very near future'. I just could not hide my laughter. Why is Trump so besotted with meeting Xi, even hoping Xi will give him an invite after all the pestering. But that did not come, and Trump is making a self-invite visit in April. I am honestly amused.
What is the purpose of Xi visiting Washington when Trump had already escalated his tariffs against Beijing, without any negotiations being done, just unilaterally shafting them down China's throat. Is Trump expecting Xi to run to Washington like Modi, to beg him to backtrack on his tariffs and move some manufacturing as well to the USA? Modi went to Washington voluntarily to be slapped on one cheek and then had to turn the other cheek to be slapped as well. Modi had little choice. I think Xi is not going to do that.
Some sycophants are already saying that Trump is going to 'confront' Xi over the remark by China that it is ready to fight 'any war with the USA'. In the minds of the warmongers in Washington, they only narrowly interpret the word 'war' with arms conflict. They forgot that war has a wide margin of interpretation. Trump's trade war is also a war. The technological sanctions imposed on China which is also a technological war. There is the semiconductor war going on. There is a war over EVs. And those war mongers choose to interpret narrowly the notion of war to suit their agendas. And China has no reason to apologize over the use of the word 'any war'. The USA had been so used to lying, that they forgot how to use simple English Language and choose to distort the reality of any situation.

It is a good sign that Xi is not saying anything about the visit and making Trump neurotic and showing that not everything that Trump says goes. China, like Canada and Mexico now, are not taking Trump's threats and actions lying down. They are retaliating, not just by the Government but the common people boycotting travel and not buying USA made goods, literally saying that enough is enough over bullying.
Modi, of course had to take all that Trump dished out to him lying down, not daring to retaliate. They can continue to hug as much as they like, but that does not change the situation. Perhaps Trumps knows that Modi has no cards left to play and no hands to deal, or play scissors, paper and stone like Zelenskyy.
Xi is not the least interest in talking to untrustworthy leaders that overturn whatever is agreed the moment they returned home after stepping down from the plane.
Who can forget Biden's Washington meeting with 50 African leaders, promising US$350 billion for Africa's digital transformation, which was overturned into US$350 million the moment he stepped out of the venue. US$350 million for 50 African countries for digital transformation means US$7 million for each country, which is not even enough to dig holes for erecting pylons. The Administration immediately tried to spin around this backtracking as a gaffe by Biden. Dementia seems like a very good excuse.
