As Donald Trump wrapped up his high-stakes China visit, speculation exploded online that Xi Jinping “refused” to see him off after tense discussions over Iran and global security.
But here’s the reality: diplomatic protocol in China does not require the president to personally greet or send off visiting leaders. In fact, Trump was officially received by China’s vice president—standard practice for such visits.
Throughout the summit, both sides maintained formal warmth and ceremonial respect, even as major differences remained on Iran, Taiwan, and trade.
So why is the internet calling it a “snub”?#TrumpXi #TrumpXiBeijing #TrumpXiExit #TrumpDeparture #XiJinping #XiProtocol #FarewellProtocol #ChinaProtocol #XiGreeting #TrumpChinaVisit #BeijingMeeting #BeijingSummit #SummitControversy #ExitControversy #TrumpXiOptics #DiplomacyProtocol #ChinaUSDiplomacy #USChinaRelations #IranTensions #IranClash #Geopolitics #GlobalPolitics #TrumpXiBreakdown #ChinaMeeting
