Donald Trump was "humiliated" by Chinese leader Xi Jinping on his arrival in China, according to political commentators.
The US PresidentDonald Trumparrived in Beijing this afternoon, marking the first visit to China by a sitting American president in nearly a decade.
Flanked by a high-powered delegation that includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and tech heavyweights like Apple’s Tim Cook and Tesla’sElon Musk, Trump was greeted at the airport with a formal red-carpet ceremony, military guard, and a welcoming crowd of chanting students.
But many have pointed out that Xi opted not to join in with the airport welcome.
Political commentator Brian Allen posted on X: "Massive insult! Trump just landed in China.
"Xi Jinpingdid not greet him at the airport. Instead, the US Ambassador, China’s Vice President, and two foreign ministry officials.
"The White House is calling it 'red carpet treatment'. The same summit that was downgraded to a low-impact meeting before it started.
"China is treating the United States like a third-world country."
His comments have been echoed by many others online, who questioned the move.
Others have also shared videos online of Xi Jinping meeting North Korean leader Kim Jon-Un at the airport during his 2018 visit.
