When Donald Trump stepped off of Air Force One earlier today in China he was not met by the Chinese president. The subtle diss from Xi Jinping almost certainly would have rubbed the U.S. president the wrong way, but Trump’s MAGA mouthpieces are already hard at work trying to put a positive spin on the whole thing.
Footage of Trump arriving in China has been shared online and it shows that Trump was not welcomed to the country by its leader. Instead the U.S. president was met by Han Zheng, the Chinese vice president, along with the U.S. ambassador to China, China’s ambassador to Washington, and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. Everyone but Xi Jinping it would seem.
