US President Donald Trump arrived in China on Wednesday after 8 years. His plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport, where he was received by Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Chinese Ambassador Shi Feng. Around 300 children in blue and white uniforms were present at the airport when they landed from Air Force One. They were waving the flags of the United States and China. Trump was accompanied by his son Eric Trump and daughter-in-law Lara Trump. During this time, the children chanted 'Welcome' in Mandarin. A Boeing aircraft deal worth more than Rs 9 lakh crore can be made in this trip. China can buy 500 Boeing 737 MAX, 100 Boeing 787 Dreamline and many 777X widebody aircraft. If the deal goes through, it will be the biggest aircraft deal in history.

However, Jensen Huang, CEO of chip company Nvidia, will not be involved in the trip. According to reports, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump will hold separate rounds of talks on Thursday and Friday. The two leaders are likely to discuss issues such as trade, Taiwan, rare earth minerals, AI and the Iran war. Trump will be in Beijing until May 15. This is his first visit to China since 2017. Donald Trump has said that he does not need China's help to end the ongoing war with Iran. Trump made the statement while leaving Washington for Beijing. "I don't think we need any help with Iran," Trump told reporters. When asked if the economic difficulties of the people in the United States are influencing his decisions, Trump said, "I don't think about the economic situation of the Americans. I only think of one thing, Iran should not have nuclear weapons. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is traveling to China with Trump to change the way China writes the name of the US Secretary of State. The special thing is that China has already banned Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio was formerly a congressman in the United States and frequently criticized China. He raised his voice against China on the issue of Uyghur Muslims and Hong Kong. Angered by this, China imposed sanctions on them, including a ban on entry into China. But now China has found a new way. China has changed the way Marco Rubio's name is written in Chinese. It is believed that this was done so that the restrictions imposed on the old name would not apply to the new name and their travel to China would be possible. Transliteration means writing a name or word in the script of another language. To put it simply, China changed the way Rubio was written so that it was technically no longer the old forbidden name. According to the White House, President Xi Jinping will host a state dinner in honor of Donald Trump during his visit to China. In China, such a state dinner is seen as a great diplomatic honour. Such events are usually held at Beijing's Great Hall of the People, where China's top leadership welcomes foreign guests. It includes senior officials, business representatives and special guests from both countries. According to diplomatic experts, the bigger the formal welcome given by China to a foreign leader, it is considered a sign of the importance of the relationship. Through the State Dinner, China is trying to convey the message that it is attaching importance to relations with the US at a strategic level. During Trump's first visit to China in 2017, President Xi Jinping hosted a special reception in his honour. Trump-Xi Jinping will discuss 4 important issues: 1. The U.S.-China trade war is still a big issue. Trump has previously warned of heavy tariffs on Chinese goods. The two countries can now negotiate on reducing trade tensions. 2. Taiwan and Arms Sales Taiwan Tensions between the two countries continue. Trump has said that he will talk to Xi Jinping about the US weapons package of $ 11 billion. China considers Taiwan as part of it and has consistently opposed US arms sales. 3. Rare Earth Minerals and AI Rare Earth Minerals are very important for electric vehicle, chips and defense industry. China is the world's largest supplier, while the US wants to reduce its dependence. The competition between the two countries has also intensified regarding AI and semiconductor technology. 4. Soybean and agribusiness China is a big market for American farmers. After the trade war, China reduced its purchases of American soybeans. Now the Trump administration can try to increase agricultural exports. Tensions between the United States and China continue over the purchase of Iranian oil. The Trump administration accuses China of providing economic support to Tehran by buying large quantities of Iranian oil, while China is calling it a matter related to its energy needs. China has long been buying oil from Iran on a large scale despite sanctions from the United States and Western countries. According to experts, China adopts a strategy of buying cheap oil to meet its energy needs. After sanctions are imposed on Iran, it has to sell its oil at a discount. Many private refineries in China buy the oil available at the same concessional rate. This gives China cheap energy, while Iran gets a bigger way to earn foreign exchange. According to reports, a large part of Iran's total oil exports have gone to China in recent years. Often, this trade is carried out not directly in the name of Iran, but by other countries or in the form of blended oil, in order to evade US sanctions. The United States wants China to reduce its purchases of Iranian oil, so that Tehran's earnings will be reduced and pressure on it increases. If China cuts back on purchases, Iran's economy could be impacted, as oil exports are its biggest source of income. However, China has made it clear in the past that it takes decisions based on its energy interests and does not change policy under external pressure. Beijing says its energy security is a priority for it. For this reason, this issue is considered important in the meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. It is believed that the US may seek cooperation from China on trade and tariff disputes as well as Iranian oil.

American farmers are hoping for a trade deal American farmers are keeping an eye on Trump's visit to China. Troubled by trade wars, inflation and declining soybean exports, farmers want a strong trade deal with China. According to the NPR report, after Trump's tariffs, China increased purchases from Brazil by reducing American soybean purchases. However, late last year, China resumed buying American soybeans. According to the report, China bought 30 million metric tons of soybeans from the United States in 2022, up from 36 million metric tons before Trump's first term.
