Trump's Rumored Visit to China: Authenticity and New Dynamics in China-U.S. Relations

On June 28, Observer Network cited foreign media reports that U.S. officials are intensively planning for Trump's visit to China. According to the plan, later this year, Trump will lead a delegation composed of dozens of business leaders to set foot on Chinese soil. How authentic is this news, and what impact will it have on China-U.S. relations?

From Trump's own attitude, he seems to be very much looking forward to the visit to China. As early as when he first took office, Trump expressed hope to visit China within his first hundred days. Although he ultimately did not make the trip, it is enough to see his enthusiasm for promoting the visit to China. Moreover, during a previous phone call with the Chinese side, Trump gladly accepted the olive branch extended by them for a visit to China. All signs indicate that the news of Trump's preparation for the visit to China is quite credible.

However, Trump's plan to visit China is not set in stone and still has some uncertainties. While the report mentions that the visit is scheduled for later this year, this timing remains vague. After all, whether Trump can successfully visit China largely depends on the subsequent developments in China-U.S. relations.
