President Xi's State Visit and Trump's Hospitality
President Xi Jinping's recent state visit to the U.S. featured significant pageantry but few concrete deliverables. Critics, including Michael McFaul, argue that Trump's friendly rhetoric toward the Chinese leader undermines American interests. Adam Curry observes that Trump, coming from the hospitality business, treated Xi to a tour of a new ballroom rather than confronting him on human rights or trade.
