Xi Jinping's Visit to the United States: China Appears to Have Imposed Its Terms on Trump
As Washington rolls out the red carpet for the Chinese president on Wednesday, Beijing appears to be in a position of strength against an American president whom Le Monde describes as weakened on military and domestic fronts.
Chinese President Xi Jinping began a visit to the United States on Wednesday during which Washington gave him a particularly warm welcome, according to Le Monde.
The newspaper points out that Beijing seems to have managed to impose many of its own conditions in the context of this visit, in the face of a US president whom Le Monde describes as weakened militarily and internally.
According to Le Monde's analysis, this development would mark a change in the usual balance of power between the two powers during this type of high-level diplomatic meeting.
Le Monde did not specify in the available extract all the subjects discussed during this visit or the concrete results expected from the discussions between the two leaders.
