Donald Trump's state dinner with Xi Jinping in Beijing has become the subject of widespread online speculation after social media users focused on the behaviour of hospitality staff serving members of the US delegation.
Clips recorded during the summit on 14 and 15 May show attendants in red uniforms moving through the banquet hall and observing guests during the formal dinner. The videos have circulated widely across X, Threads, and Reddit, where some users speculated that the staff may have been monitoring conversations or closely observing American officials.
