Hello Walter,
Yes, America is excited about your President's visit. The Democrats liked your leader Xi Jinping.
"In early 2012, Xi Jinping traveled to the United States to meet with President Barack Obama and members of his cabinet. He also made a nostalgic trip back to Iowa (where he had lived for awhile) and then visited Los Angeles. During his visit, he spoke of increasing trust and reducing suspicions between the two countries while respecting each other’s interests in the Pacific-Asian region.
Later that year, on November 15, Xi Jinping was elected general secretary of the Communist Party and chairman of the Central Military Commission. In his first speech as general secretary, Xi broke from tradition and sounded more like a Western politician, speaking about the aspirations of the average person and calling for better education, stable jobs, higher income, a more reliable safety net of retirement and health care, better living conditions and a better environment. He also vowed to take on corruption within the government at the highest levels. He referred to his vision for the nation as the "Chinese Dream."
I read some more of his history...he sounds like a good man. However, the Democrats have lost power and been replaced by Trump and his entourage. Some of the more intelligent and responsible people in the Republican Congress are trying to control him. He has declared (today) he would be willing to go it alone to restrain North Korea's nuclear weapons program should China fail to change the situation, saying if Beijing won't help solve it, then "we will" alone. Making a statement like that (just prior to this meeting) is foolish. Rhetoric like that can only create greater friction.
I wish it was a Democrat greeting him. We'll see how it all works out soon enough. I think America and China could get along very well with the right people in charge here.
Politics can be a very touchy subject Walter. We can talk but let's avoid overgeneralizing. Nobody's right or wrong...just shades of grey. We can focus on what we have in common as humans and all the baggage that goes with it.

Hi, guys
I will tell you that North Korea won't trust in anyone But the nuclear weapon and missiles which just can bring them troubles. You had better talk with them directly, in this way, hopefully, you could change an optential threats into a emerging market which you are looking for or an optential trade partner which is like Vietnam or Cuba. By this means, Chinese government would mediate between you two.
first, you should stop the military drill with S.K and let the tension cool down and it will be like the relations between U.S. and Cuba. In one or two decades, the U.S. could talk with N.K in the frame of six parties and in the long term you can change the threat into a potential trade partner.
Chinese governments won't hope to see the collapes of North Korea or the war in Korea penpeninsula. Also, you woll not trap into the mud of long term action. The Chinese government hope the denuclearization of Korea Peninsula.
That is my opinion.

You can put your air force in S.K and protect them instead of put Thaad there. If not, the Russia and Chinese government will involve into the confrontation.

What we talk about is world politics. Actually, those are all nonsense.
Actually, I don't like the N.K. 's leader.

The inclusion of nuclear weapons into any military scenario changes the situation so drastically that there is no comparison to purely conventional confrontations. Cuba was denied nukes by Kennedy, in exchange for a promise never to invade. N. Korea could have that same guarantee but Kim Jong Un is not Fidel Castro. Castro may have been many things but he was rational...I can't say the same for Kim.
Japan has a great stake here. Like Germany, after the second world war, she became phobic regarding the military...the people had been betrayed by their military. Now, we (the U.S.) must protect both from any aggression. These missiles being launched by N.K. can obviously hit Japan. We don't have a "couple decades" to wait for them to settle into any sort of quiet stalemate such as Cuba represented. I hope Xi can offer some concrete assistance...Trump is unpredictable.
The missile defense system is just that...a defensive weapon. Why is that objectionable...under these circumstances?

Let's see what both leaders could reach. Xi Jingping have arrived in Florida and met with Donald Trump.
