Chinese President Xi Jinping will send a high-level envoy in his place to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

Beijing has told Trump’s transition team that the official would attend instead of Xi, whom Trump had invited to attend, the report said, citing several people familiar with the situation. It said the envoy would also hold talks with Trump's team.

Xi could send Han Zheng, a vice president who sometimes stands in for him in ceremonial roles, while another option was Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the FT reported, citing its sources.

The paper cited one person familiar with the situation as saying that some Trump advisers wanted Cai Qi, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee seen as wielding much more power than Han or Wang in his capacity as Xi’s right-hand man.

Snub will be returned in kind, no doubt. Xi is being too cute by half.

I think I’d say, “The invitation was for President Xi. No substitutions allowed.”

Now that Presidential Trump is technically a convicted felon, Biden could have the ATF break down the doors to his homes and seize his personal firearms. It could even happen TODAY!
