Xi Jinping boosts diplomacy at global summits to counter Trump tariffs

reuters.com November 21, 2024, 08:01 AM UTC

Chinese President Xi Jinping has intensified diplomatic efforts at recent global summits following Donald Trump's reelection. Xi aims to counter expected tariffs from the U.S. and position China as a stable partner in contrast to Trump's "America First" approach. At meetings like APEC in Peru and G20 in Brazil, Chinese diplomats have adopted a more collaborative stance, focusing on broader consensus rather than narrow interests. This shift reflects China's need to strengthen ties, especially with developing nations, amid economic vulnerabilities. European leaders have also engaged positively with Xi, seeking solutions to trade disputes. However, underlying tensions remain, as many countries are cautious about China's growing influence and its past trade practices, complicating potential cooperation.
