China’s Xi offers olive branch to Trump by sending top deputy to inauguration

Live Mint  

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is sending his deputy head of state to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, signaling Beijing’s willingness to engage the new administration and stabilize rocky ties with the U.S. Han Zheng, China’s vice president, will be traveling to Washington as Xi’s special representative at the inauguration, state media reported Friday, citing a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson. Beijing is likely to follow up on Han’s trip by looking to arrange high-level meetings with the Trump administration, such as discussions between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his American counterparts, Loh said. One person close to Trump’s decision to invite Xi said that while Trump wants competition with China he also values the relationship with the Chinese leader, the Journal previously reported. As president-elect, Trump said that he would place tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China on the first day of his second term if the countries don’t halt the flow of migrants and drugs into the U.S. Xi, for his part, has signaled that Beijing would retaliate should Trump follow through on his threats.
