During US President Donald Trump two-day visit to China, the global superpowers are expected to discuss tariffs, competition over technology, the war in Iran, and America’s relationship with Taiwan.
Trade between the two countries has declined in recent years amid an escalating tariff war and other restrictions. The war in Iran is also expected to be high on the agenda as Trump meets Xi.
China relies heavily on Iran for oil, and the exports have effectively been cut off as ships are unable to navigate the Strait of Hormuz. The two nations also have an alliance dating back decades.
Shortly before departing for China, Trump told reporters in Washington he and Xi will have a "long talk" about Iran, but insisted "I don’t think we need any help" in resolving the conflict.
