President Trump lands in Beijing

Both Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping hope that the visit will bear fruit. This summit between the two most powerful leaders in the world is expected to be one of the most important meetings for years, writes Periscopi.

Xi Jinping and Donald Trump will walk by Chinese troops who will be dressed in white and carry guns. Xi and Trump will wear dark suits.

This is the first visit of a US president since Trump's last visit in 2017.

For months, US-Kin relations have been very bad. Trump's focus has been on the ongoing fight with Iran, military operations in the Western Hemisphere and internal concerns. But all of this

Change this week. The future of global trade, rising tensions in Taiwan, and competition in advanced technologies are all at risk.

Economically, the ongoing trade struggle with the US and the conflict in Iran can be bad news for Xi, but ideologically and politically they are a gift and he will feel he has a strong hand.

This visit could lay the foundation for future co-operation, or conflict in the years ahead.
