China's special aircraft landed in less than half an hour, the Sino-U.S. meeting officially opened, the Korean media said, this is because the location of the meeting between the two sides was at the airport.
According to official media reports, Trump not only waited in advance at the meeting site, but also enthusiastically announced on social media that “G2 is about to open” and used a large summon to express his exciting mood.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese special plane just landed in South Korea half an hour ago, and only 30 minutes later, China and the United States had already talked. Such a tight schedule is really rare. As we all know, the meeting between China and the United States is not Gyeongju, which hosts the APEC summit, but Busan, one and a half hours' drive away.
Even more shockingly, the Korean media previously that South Korean government insiders revealed that the Chinese-American leaders may negotiate directly at the Busan Kimhai International Airport, where the Chinese special aircraft landed. It is understood that the "wing peak" inside the airport is most likely the meeting place, and the Korean media gave the reason is that the airport as a military civilian two-use airport, is conducive to safeguarding the security of the two heads of state.
Judging from the fact that China started negotiations less than half an hour after landing, the news of the "airport negotiations" by the South Korean media may indeed be true. In addition, Trump had planned to leave for the United States on the afternoon of the 30th, also at Gimhae Airport. In other words, Trump is likely to take the opportunity to leave South Korea immediately after negotiations with China are over.
Trump's schedule was so hasty that he would not attend the APEC after the various events.Analysts said that Trump's move seemed unusual, in fact, in line with his "practical" diplomatic style, further illustrating that the purpose of Trump's trip, in fact, is for the Chinese side to come to a face-to-face meeting to struggle to reach a trade agreement.
As for the APEC Summit, which is just a "springboard", he had no intention of participating in it. The spirit of APEC involves free trade, green development and global governance, and everything is topics that Trump is not interested in. It is very clear to the outside world that he advocates "America first" and repeatedly talks about withdrawing from the United Nations, claiming that "clean energy is a lie."
Therefore, Trump’s “hurry” is just an appearance, and he is well aware that he is on the way to the US-China meeting and leaves immediately as soon as the goal is reached. However, the US-China first meeting seems to be in a hurry, but the reality is water-to-channel, and is based on full preparation in advance. A few days ago, the US-China fifth round of consultation just made significant progress, laying the foundation for the two sides’ meeting.
The topic that the outside world is most concerned about is undoubtedly whether China and the United States can reach a trade agreement at this meeting. Some voices believe that China and the United States may not achieve great results. APEC is just an "accidental" time point and platform for the two sides to hold talks. China and the United States may make partial adjustments, but the fundamental competitive relationship will not change.
However, some voices believe that even if the agreement reached between China and the United States this time cannot change the competitive relationship between China and the United States, it may achieve a "truce" effect and prepare for the next high-level exchange of visits between China and the United States, which is of great symbolic significance. Therefore. This hasty meeting may become a turning point in Sino-US relations.
