People’s Republic of China Grants Trump An Honor No Foreign Leader Has Had Since Its Founding
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/08/2017 | Ryan Pickrell

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are reportedly being treated like royalty on their first official visit to China.

Trump and his wife were granted a rare dinner at the Forbidden City, an honor that has not been bestowed on a foreign leader since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 68 years ago, reports New York Daily News, as well as several other media outlets.

The president and first lady arrived in China, the third leg of Trump’s two-week Asia tour, Wednesday afternoon. After landing in Beijing, Trump and Melania toured the Forbidden City with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan.

The Forbidden City, a massive palace complex, was the residence of the imperial family for centuries. At this world-famous site, which was shut down for this special visit, the leaders of two of the world’s most powerful countries enjoyed a Peking Opera performance and a dinner together. Such treatment is notably different from what former President Barack Obama received on his farewell tour.

Obama was “snubbed” by the Chinese when he visited Beijing for the G-20 summit last year.

“Xi is going to treat Trump almost like an emperor,” Ming Wang, a professor of government and politics at George Mason University, told CNN, arguing that China “will give Trump an exceptional reception, essentially they’ll try to make Trump happy.”

Could you elaborate a little more? Didn’t several women say Clinton forcibly rapes them? And is it a bad thing that Moore went out on a date and didn’t have sex? And what does being Jewish have to do with it? I know many Jews who go on dates and don’t have sex?

Obama is a foppish moron that the Chinese held in utter contempt. In China, only adults play politics. They are inpatient with fools.

I don't like how he passed the buck to previous presidents. I criticized other president for this long before Trump was a Republican. But HE is the president now. He has power to change things. Playing the blame game with past presidents is just a way to shirk that.

No, I don't think he'll get snookered. I worry that he will be the ultraglobalist he was before June 2015.

And you think it's a bad thing me being a patriot and sticking up for my country? I think all the people who won't do that might as well be kneeling for the national anthem. We need more patriots, not less.

“Sinologists say that Chinese leadership is great at seducing foreign leadership.”

What happened with Obama?

The next liberal story will be that Trump colluded with the Chinese Communists to win the election.

I think Trump ate Chinese food while campaigning. Does that count?

Obama did a lot for China. Remember, he made the Dalai Lama walk through garbage.

They realized he’s an America hating moron who will sell out his nation without any inducement. They knew they treat him like the rotten traitor to his own people that he is. Even criminals despise the turncoat...

Yeah, big deal. I used to eat at the Forbidden City at 65th and Keystone on the northside of Indianapolis.

It's a chain for crying out loud.

I’m in this camp as well. Xi is only the 4th to have his “thoughts” put in the constitution and only the 3rd that has consolidated as much power as Mao and Deng. He may even have surpassed Deng in the power category at this point, just due to the technology advantage he has.

I see this as a show of consolidated power - there is a boatload of imagery having the leader hosting a party in the Forbidden City.

"Obama was 'snubbed' by the Chinese when he visited Beijing for the G-20 summit last year."

So it's more of a n insult directed at comrade obama than a special honor for president Trump. I didn't know the Chinese were so vindictive.

Wow, it truly was the highest honor.

Xi and Peng are reading the tea leaves. They sense that Trump will be in power for 8 full years and will have a transformative effect on the US and the world.
