Given the length of the trip--the longest visit to Asia by a U.S. president in 25 years--perhaps Trump and his advisors finally recognized both the importance of the region and, more to the point, the prominence of China. The U.S. believed that China was central to the trip, hence Trump＇s visit to Beijing was delib- erately positioned as the middle stop of his five-nation tour. Trump＇s visit to Beijing and his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping can be rightly viewed as the centerpiece of his Asia tour. Trump＇s state visit showed China＇s sincerity in enhancing China-U.S. ties through more effective and flexible diplo- macy.展开更多
