Xi Jinping to Send High-Level Envoy to Trump's January 20 Inauguration to Ease US-China Tensions
Jan 10, 2025, 03:04 AM
Chinese President Xi Jinping has decided to send a high-level envoy to attend U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025. This move, described as unprecedented, is seen as a diplomatic overture aimed at easing tensions between the two nations as the new U.S. administration begins. Beijing has communicated to Trump's transition team that Xi himself will not attend, despite receiving an invitation from Trump. Potential candidates for the envoy include Vice President Han Zheng, who often assumes ceremonial roles, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and Politburo Standing Committee member Cai Qi, who holds a high-ranking status. The envoy is expected to hold talks with Trump’s team during the visit. Analysts suggest that Xi's decision reflects an effort to start relations with the new administration on a positive note while avoiding potential risks associated with Trump's unpredictability.
