\u201cWe have the trip with China coming up. And I think it will be an amazing event.\u201d
Trump had initially planned to visit Beijing in late March, but put the trip back to May 14 and 15 after starting the war against Iran.
Chinese analysts said the trip would be crucial for the two countries to manage risks in the face of rising uncertainty worldwide.
Shen Dingli, a Shanghai-based professor of international affairs, said Trump\u2019s visit to Beijing was mainly about risk management.
\u201cWashington wants to avoid complete decoupling from strategic supply chains \u2013 such as rare earths \u2013 for now, and also wants China not to arm Iran.
For China, the focus is on the Taiwan issue,\u201d Shen said.
Ma Bo, an associate professor at the school of international studies at Nanjing University, said that the primary consideration for Trump was to stabilise relations with China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
