I am curious about who is going to be at this state dinner tonight because this meeting is all about symbolism and so I kinda can't wait to see how Xi Jinping, who was infamously stone faced, responds to all this pageantry that he's going to be honored with this morning.
matched
And also whether Trump makes any change to the US stance on Taiwan.
matched
This is a democratic island that China very much wants control over.
matched
And I'm also gonna be looking out for whether the two countries can extend a fragile detente.
matched
Despite real friction over issues like export controls and sanctions, and I'll note that hours before the summit, the US Treasury Secretary announced a two month extension of a truce on rare earths, which is something China dominates.
matched
But so far I haven't seen trying to confirm the details.
matched
China really forced the US hand with rare earths, according to Scott Kennedy.
matched
He's an economics expert at the think tank center for strategic and international studies here in Washington.
matched
You know, that they provide which the US cannot substitute for, like rare earths.
matched
Yeah, there was a welcoming delegation.
matched
They unfurled a long red carpet for Xi Jinping and his wife, the singer Peng Yuan.
matched
A band played both countries' anthems and then a military flyby buzzed overhead during the last bars of the Star Spangled Banner.
matched
This is a really big deal.
matched
You know, this is the first time a US president has received a visiting Chinese leader for a state visit on the tarmac, and it's a sign of just the personal importance that Trump puts on Shi's visit.
matched
It's a grand gesture that's made waves in China because it makes clear to people in China that this country is now an equal to the US.
matched
And you might be wondering why you're not hearing sound of this reception on the tarmac, and it's because the moment was not broadcast on major television networks, because as you just heard David talk about, the networks have been protesting Trump banning three news organizations from the White House.
matched
It's big news in China, but for Xi Jinping, this is actually just one of several state visits he's made over the last month.
matched
He's gone to Egypt and Central Asia as well.
matched
Xi's priority experts say to me is to find stability with the US in this visit.
matched
Even if it means basically papering over real tensions with the US right now.
