Trump was dying to visit China to boost his ego and stature. Trump does not think any country is good enough or worthy of his visit. Trump does not think any head of state is worthy of him to call on. Xi and Beijing are top most in his mind. Trump die, die must go to Beijing, evening spreading lies about his visit to Beijing and fixing his own dates, end of March. China was totally silent about this and non committal, refuses to confirm anything about the visit, did not talk about preparation and sending invitation to Trump. The gangster invited himself, wanting to gatecrash into Zhongnanhai.
Xi in the meantime has not say anything about inviting Trump to Beijing. In a way Xi was telling Trump, behave yourself. If you are a good boy, maybe he will invite him. Lunatic Trump has his own thoughts, if he is capable of thinking. Trump believes that by slapping Xi everyday, everywhere, Xi will cave in and invite him to appease him. Trump has been attacking China and Chinese assets everywhere, coercing govts to block deals with China and stopping trade with China. To this rascal, he believes gangster tactics and force are the way to deal with Xi. Just keep hammering Xi to let Xi know how powerful Trump is and what Trump can do to China and Xi.
Foolish Trump completely misread Xi. Xi was observing him, giving Trump all the chances to back off to deserve an invite. It turns out that all the waiting was wasted effort and turning into giving Trump more ropes to hang himself. 8 days from end of March, China told Trump, no visit to China. Xi has no time to see Trump, meaning go to hell.
Trump, as usual, after being slapped, tries to hide the embarrassment, claiming that he is to busy bombing Iran and killing Iranians and he postponed the visit to April. Who said so? Trump said so. Trump still said he wants to visit China.
By end of April, if this lunatic still cannot find some sanity and continues to attack China and Iran, Xi will say no again. And liar and lunatic Trump will cook up some new reasons to postpone the visit. At the rate it is going, clown Trump will not be invited to Beijing in his final terms. Period.
No reason for Xi to meet a senseless and irrational mad man. Though there is no confirmation yet of the status of the visit, China is not saying anything, but Trump probably has been told the visit is off. He would still negotiate and push for a visit for show that he is important enough to meet Xi. So now playing the game that he is too busy and cannot visit China now.
China will be sending a wrong message to allow the visit to go on when Trump is attacking China's strategic ally Iran. What would Iran be thinking of China? The visit could be Trump playing China against Iran, creating more misunderstanding and distrust between Iran and China.

Relations between countries are never always smooth sailing. Even families have misunderstandings among members, but they do not generally break up just because of that.
The USA had been trying to create mistrust between Russia and China, to pry them apart. So far, that has not succeeded. Likewise, I do not believe Chinese and Iranian leaders are that stupid to fall for the same propaganda by the USA to pry them apart. Both China and Iran are ancient civilizations with long history going back thousands of years and do not succumb easily to the tricks of upstarts that have tried to break up their country. Many have tried, many times, but have failed and history is there to provide the evidence.
Of course, there are smaller countries that do fall into the divide and rule mantra of the USA. Philippines is one perfect example, and India is caught in similar situation. But others like Malaysia and Indonesia are more pragmatic and being Muslim countries, like Iran, will never be able to fall in line with the likes of the USA and the West, so long as they have good leaders in charge.
Therefore, whatever the situation is between Trump and Xi, it is unlikely to change the geopolitical landscape and political ideology, whether they talk to each other or not. But as I say, relations among countries are never always smooth sailing. It is up to leaders to know how to navigate the waters, choppy or smooth it may be.
