5.13-15 Trump's Visit to China: What's the Purpose?
Top political figures + top American wealthy entrepreneurs came in a group.
High-ranking officials managing diplomacy, economy, and security, as well as Tesla, Apple, Boeing, Wall Street financial tycoons—all here for economic benefits.
On the surface, it's a visit to China; the real reasons are these points:
1. Their own country can't go on, so they come to seek help to recover financially.
The U.S. is heavily in debt now, with high prices, public complaints, and domestic political instability. Trump is about to run for election, urgently needing to improve relations with China, secure trade orders, do business, make money, stabilize public opinion, and win votes.
2. Want to negotiate business with China and maximize benefits.
They want China to buy more American grain, airplanes, energy, and cars; at the same time, they demand a green light for American companies, allowing Apple, Tesla, and Wall Street financial firms to make good profits in China.
While wanting to earn Chinese money, they also don't want to open up high-end chips and core technologies—trying to benefit while guarding against China becoming stronger.
3. Can't handle the Middle East mess, seeking China's mediation.
The Iran and Middle East situation is chaotic now, oil prices are rising, and the U.S. is stuck and can't extricate itself. He came here mainly to ask China to help mediate, stabilize the Middle East situation, and avoid the U.S. bearing all the pressure alone.
4. Maintain stability, afraid of major conflicts.
The Taiwan Strait and surrounding areas are already tense; the U.S. fears misjudgments and accidental clashes. This visit is mainly to verbally set boundaries, not to completely ruin relations, but to control the situation and maintain his image as the top boss.
5. Not sincere about reconciliation, but pragmatic and self-interested.
It's not about friendship or goodwill; it's purely about difficulties, seeking help, money, and stability.
They will cooperate if it makes money, but on key technologies and core interests, they remain guarded and competitive—selfish to the core.
This visit to China is driven by America's internal money shortages and loss of popularity, with external chaos hard to manage. They bring a group of wealthy politicians and entrepreneurs to China to ride the wave of benefits, negotiate business, seek help, and stabilize the situation—all for America's own interests, with no genuine friendship involved.
