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.

Why talk to people who never honor their commitments. It is a waste of time.
Xi knows they are all one of a kind. Xi avoided Biden and now is avoiding Trump.
