Trump's visit to China: Objectives and Chinese public's reaction

The following could be the main objectives of Trump's visit to China:

TECHNOLOGY

America has imposed some restrictions on China’s export of advanced electronic chips, aiming to slow down China's progress in artificial intelligence. Yet despite this, China is self-sufficient in producing electronic products, electric vehicles, and military equipment, and is exporting them on a large scale.

IRAN WAR AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ

The second major purpose of Trump's visit is to put pressure on China regarding Iran, as China is the biggest buyer of Iranian oil. Trump will demand that China comply with U.S. proposals and open the Strait of Hormuz.

THE TAIWAN ISSUE

The third important objective is the Taiwan issue. China considers Taiwan to be its territory, while Taiwan wants to remain independent from China, and the United States supports Taiwan's stance.

TARRIFS

The fourth major purpose is to set tariffs. The United States has imposed heavy tariffs on Chinese goods, and in response, China has also set its own tariffs.

PUBLIC OPINION

Chinese citizens are divided over Trump's visit; some say that this visit will bring better trade policies between the two countries, while others say that Trump is not a trustworthy person.
