US President Donald Trump, while welcoming Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews, attempted to demonstrate US military power by flying two B-1 bombers; an action that has been described in the media as an attempt to show off his power against the Chinese president.
In contrast, Xi Jinping’s calm and unostentatious reaction in the published images has attracted a lot of attention, and some media outlets have considered it a sign of the Chinese president’s different approach to Washington’s military display.
Trump also, contrary to usual practice, personally welcomed the Chinese president at Andrews Air Force Base, a move that highlighted the importance of the meeting and Xi Jinping’s position in Washington-Beijing relations.
Meanwhile, images of this meeting have been reflected on social media with comments about “China’s display of power and the ineffectiveness of Trump’s power display.”
