During their meeting on Thursday (May 14) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Xi said he and Trump agreed to make such a relationship the “new positioning” of bilateral ties, according to the Chinese readout.
Centred on cooperation as the mainstay, measured competition, manageable differences and “lasting stability” where peace can be expected, this formulation would guide China-US ties for the next three years and beyond, the Chinese supremo added. CNA
Trump's trip to China is like sabbatical, away from his savage world of wars, destruction and mass murders. It is a good respite from his insane world of killing innocent people, stuck in his insanity devoid of human conscience and compassion. The calm and civilised atmosphere in Beijing, in the Great Hall of the People may bring some senses to lunatic Trump, that the world does not need more wars, killing and destruction. Sitting down together for dinner is better and more rewarding than chest thumping and tearing off the shirt and snarling like gangsters.
Xi, in his quiet and composed manner, is trying to bring some sense to Trump and his savages, telling him that both can compete peacefully without going to war, to self destruct. The message is simple and clear. Trade and free competition without war and destruction will benefit both countries and the world. And it cost nothing, just some small change for good food and good wine. It costs much less than a Tomahawk cruise missile to make 200 people happy and have a good time.
And this was exactly what Trump was doing in China, bringing in his top CEOs, not for war, but for more trade and economic cooperation that would benefit both sides. It would be completely meaningless and a waste of time, if after leaving China, Trump and his clowns would return to their savagery to attack China all over again. It must have dawned on Trump that his trade wars,, tariffs and sanctions, are killing the American economy, hurting the American people, killing his giant corporations, the biggest victim is Nvidia, with the best and most expensive chips but no buyer or not enough buyers because of the silly policy of not wanting to sell to China. Boeing is also gravely affected.
Now Trump is bringing Nvidia, Boeing and more than 15 top American companies to China, to sell to China, to ask China to buy from them. This makes a mockery of all the trade wars, tariffs and sanctions against China. Trump is calling for a reset, back to first base, more trade. And this is also the message that Xi is sending to Trump.
The Americans want to buy and sell to China to profit from trade. China also wants to buy and sell to America to profit from trade. Both parties buy and sell what is beneficial to them, not what they do not want to buy or sell. Free trade is the way to go and both can prosper from trade. It is basic economics 101.
What have the Americans gained from all the trade wars against China and the world? What have the Americans gained from the hot wars in Ukraine and the Middle East? Nothing. War is no longer a profitable business, especially fighting a war that cannot win or a losing war. War is draining away all the resources from real manufacturing of goods and services.
Would Trump learn anything from his trip to Beijing and return to sanity? This trip is a silent admission that his trade war has failed, lost. America now needs China badly to revive its economy and big corporations from going bust.

Sensible adults talking to kids and juvenile delinquents cannot produce workable solutions. While the Trump administration, with its juvenile leaders, continue to treat China like bitter enemies, USA business leaders going to China will not get what they want, despite the gloating about deals here and there.
China will give token deals in order not to cut off ties completely. That is not China capitulating as some people seem to think. China will still buy USA agricultural products to keep USA farmers dependency on China intact. China is throwing straws at drowning entities to keep them alive, not to allow them to disappear completely and lose the leverage totally.
Boeing knows the Chinese market for planes is huge and cannot be dispensed with. The Chinese domestic aviation sector can survive on COMAC planes coming on-line fast. Boeing wants a piece of the action. Nividia needs the China market for its chips, but whether China falls for the same ploy to buy more Nvidia chips is the question. China had already put top priority on Chinese semiconductor firms to entice them to power their foray into chips. Letting Chinese tech to go back to buying Nvidia chips is betraying its own semiconductor players. China is intent on cutting its dependence on foreign chip makers knowing that it is a National Security risk if conflicts arise. The current chip war already revealed the consequences of putting China's National Security under undue pressure.
On the other hand, USA can cut off deals with China firms, but they already have alternative markets to enter into. China has all the cards to play around with, both its huge consumer market and the equally huge market it can get into in the Global South and had already positioned itself for any decoupling.
The USA tried playing the decoupling card and found itself shooting its own foot. Years of sanctioning Chinese firms did not collapse those Chinese firms like Huawei, but is instead making them more resilient, while USA firms being targeted are finding the going unsustainable. Companies like Boeing, Nvidia and a host of USA technology firms still wants to go into China to make money. The visit of Trump to China clearly shows that the new mantra is co-operation and allowing both sides to grow instead of throwing brickbats and bombs at each other.
But the last word is still for China to beware of USA treachery. The USA can never ever be trusted to honor its obligations. That is clearly shown over the last couple of decades.
Actually China President Xi is also giving President Trump a silent lecture on the responsibility of being a Leader of his country & the world when Xi brought Trump to visit the Temple of Heaven or 天坛. Xi showed to Trump Chinese way of respecting the Heaven even though you r the ruler. There is always someone greater or even higher than yourself so be humble (don't go around create havoc for the people & other countries). Will Trump get the meaning or pretend dumb and continues doing what he intend to do by being a hegemon?
Aiya you can never change the evil DNAs and the decadence behaviours of the White Barabians and Savages!
From time immemorial the Whites been bullying and Invading the Coloured Peoples for their Resources and Wealth for their decadence luxuries lifes
Been brought up as Superior Races and pampered to believe that they shall ruled the World.
See their behaviours when they are in other lands arrogant and bullshits.
Their main Actrocites killing and robbing others of weak countries and Peoples.
The stupid Asians and the Rest of the Coloured Peoples still in awe and afraid of them
The Worst are the Asians, bananas and other coloured imbeciles who carried their balls and vassals to them.
Anyway, all good things must come to an end!
Heavens finally opened their skies to punish them.
Karmas awaiting,
Also for those balls carriers and doggies skunks to them.
