Commentary: Trump endangers the democratic world with his foreign policy

China's President Xi Jinping visited Washington for approximately 44 hours, during which he received numerous tributes from US President Donald Trump. The meetings reportedly focused little on issues such as human rights and China's actions in the Indo-Pacific region. No press conference was held, and for hours, no American summary of the meeting was provided, allowing China to communicate the results and make demands on Taiwan.

Only about two hours were spent on substantial discussions between the leaders of the world's two largest economies.
