US President Donald Trump is set to host Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington for a state visit that highlights the two global superpowers' complex relationship. The visit, the first of its kind for Xi in the US in nearly a decade, will cover critical topics such as trade, artificial intelligence, and Taiwan. Xi is expected to receive a grand welcome at Andrews Air Force Base on Wednesday, followed by a White House ceremony on Thursday, complete with a military flyover and close to 500 military personnel.
The visit coincides with a US-China trade agreement, which expires in November and has yet to be renewed. Experts anticipate that discussions on AI regulation and collaboration will be significant, given the heightened competition between the two nations. However, a major breakthrough on AI or other issues seems unlikely during the planned meetings.
The visit also occurs as the US Congress has approved a significant arms sale to Taiwan, a move that China views as provocative.
