Xi's Diplomatic Blitz: Trade, Taiwan, and Energy | Biography Flash
Xi Jinping Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has had quite the busy few days, with developments spanning diplomacy, economics, and energy cooperation. On November 24th, Xi held a phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump that both sides are calling a win. According to China's Foreign Ministry, the call was initiated by the United States and the atmosphere was described as positive, friendly, and constructive. The two leaders discussed several hot-button issues including trade, Taiwan, and the Ukraine conflict. Xi emphasized to Trump that Taiwan's return to mainland China is an integral part of the postwar international order, making Beijing's position crystal clear on this crucial geopolitical issue.
Just one day later on November 25th, Xi shifted gears into full diplomatic mode. He met with King Tupou VI of Tonga at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, complete with the full ceremonial treatment including a twenty-one gun salute and a military guard of honor. During the meeting, Xi highlighted China's new five-year development strategy, emphasizing high-quality development, comprehensive reform, and expanded opening up. The two leaders signed cooperation agreements in economic trade, medical care, education, and development sectors, with Tonga expressing interest in learning from China's governance success under Xi's leadership.
On the same day, Xi sent a congratulatory letter to the seventh China-Russia Energy Business Forum being held in Beijing. In his message, Xi emphasized that China-Russia energy cooperation has become a model of mutual benefit and highlighted Beijing's commitment to strengthening their comprehensive energy partnership while safeguarding global energy security.
Meanwhile, economic data released over the weekend paints a more sobering picture. China's factory activity contracted for the eighth consecutive month in November, with the manufacturing purchasing managers index at forty-nine point two, remaining below the fifty mark that signals growth. Despite a temporary truce with the United States following their South Korea meeting, industrial production remains sluggish, and weak domestic demand continues to plague the economy. Chinese policymakers appear cautious about additional stimulus, though Beijing has already injected one trillion yuan in support since late September.
On the diplomatic front, tensions with Japan have added complexity to Xi's strategic calculations, as recent remarks from Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi about potential military involvement if China acts against Taiwan have ratcheted up regional tension.
