Xi Jinping's visit to US to stabilize markets, geopolitical situation — expert

BEIJING, September 23. /TASS/. The upcoming visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the United States and his meeting with US President Donald Trump will have a positive impact on global markets and the geopolitical situation, Qian Feng, a researcher and director of the Research Department at Tsinghua University’s National Strategy Research Institute, told TASS.

"Following President Trump’s successful visit to China in May this year, President Xi Jinping’s trip to the United States will have a number of positive and far-reaching consequences for China-US relations," the expert said. "First, the visit will send a positive signal to the international community regarding the stabilization and improvement of China-US relations. It will help stabilize market expectations and the global geopolitical climate, while also setting a constructive tone for interaction between the two countries."

As Qian emphasized, Xi’s scheduled trip to the US will mark his second meeting with Trump in the past six months - an event of "immense strategic importance" for developing constructive relations and maintaining strategic stability.

"Through direct interaction between the two leaders, both sides will be able to more clearly define 'red lines' and key interests, as well as fine-tune crisis-management mechanisms," he said. "History shows that cooperation benefits both sides, while confrontation harms everyone. This visit will help create a 'safety barrier' around differences and prevent them from escalating into open confrontation."

The Chinese political analyst noted that the visit is expected to pave the way for a number of concrete bilateral cooperation agreements. Such engagement between Beijing and Washington, grounded in shared interests, could deepen the two countries’ economic interdependence and "undermine arguments for decoupling and the severing of supply chains."

Qian said Xi’s trip could help China and the US overcome short-term differences and "view the long-term development of bilateral relations from historical and philosophical perspectives."

"Through candid dialogue, the United States will gain a deeper understanding of the PRC’s development path and strategic intentions, while the Chinese side will be able to more accurately assess the direction of US policy. This will enable the shaping of a new, stable model of interaction between major powers," he said.

According to Qian, Xi and Trump are expected to coordinate their positions in several areas during the visit, particularly on global governance.

"As the world’s two largest economies, China and the United States bear a tremendous historical responsibility for addressing global issues," he said.
