How Chinese Social Media Reacted to Trump-Xi Summit's Red Carpet Welcome

Chinese social media highlighted the unusual welcome at Joint Base Andrews, where Trump and the First Lady personally greeted Xi Jinping on September 23—a reception typically reserved for popes. The red carpet, inspected on hands and knees by U.S. military personnel, was widely shared with comments calling it a scene "to remember for decades." Trump called the meeting "Friendship, Strength, and Success" and said the next U.S.-China meeting would be in November.
