US President Donald Trump might now “more clearly” understand that the US “cannot defeat China” but that it must instead engage a stronger Beijing, according to a prominent Chinese political scientist.
Zheng Yongnian, an adviser to the Chinese government, also noted that Beijing had taken a “central position” in trilateral ties between China, the United States and Russia.
Beijing and Moscow both confirmed on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin would visit China on Tuesday and Wednesday, just four days after Trump concluded his trip to China.
The back-to-back summits will mark the first time China has hosted the leaders of the White House and the Kremlin in the same month outside a multilateral setting, highlighting Beijing’s efforts to manage ties with both countries and position itself as a pivotal power amid an increasingly fractured global order.
