Xi Jinping Immediately Lectured Trump on Taiwan Before Greeting at Beijing Summit
Judging Freedom
INTEL Roundtable w/ Johnson & McGovern - Weekly Wrap 15-May
What was said
"At their very first public meeting two days ago, before President Trump said a word, when President Xi welcomed him, he lectured him on Taiwan right to his face before Trump even said thank you and it's nice to be here."
Judge Napolitano highlighted that Xi Jinping opened the Beijing summit by lecturing Trump on Taiwan sovereignty before any pleasantries, signaling China's dismissive treatment of the U.S. president. McGovern and Johnson confirmed this aligned with broader Chinese protocol snubs, including sending only the vice premier to greet Trump at the airport instead of Xi himself, treatment reserved for leaders like Putin.
