Donald Trump is coming to visit Xi Jin-Ping and will ask him desperately some help. Xi Jinping is believed to be able to pressure the Iranian government to end the war. But Donald Trump is dreaming: he is selling weapons to Taïwan just as Xi is selling weapons to Iran. Why would one on them quit that game of power?
The United States announced sanctions on Friday, May 8 (one week before the state visit) against nine companies and citizens in mainland China and Hong Kong accused of supplying components for Iranian missiles and satellite imagery used to strike American interests in Persian Gulf.
In December 2025, China critisizes the US administration announcement of an $11.1 billion arms sales package to Taipei/Taïwan, including anti-armored vehicle missiles and drones.
By going to China, Donald Trump is showing the whole world how fragile the military power of the United States is in the face of a problem – Iran – that the president himself created (with the help of his henchman, Netanyahu). We hope that the festivities Xi will offer to our behated president, will compensate for the humiliation suffered.
