I read that Trump said he might be visiting China soon while China is openly holding and essentially imprisoning Americans.
His judgement has been fairly accurate and when he makes mistakes, he turns on a dime. I have to ask openly, "is he trying to throw the Mid Terms"? Trump visiting China would be a HORRIBLE decision. His strong stance against China are probably his top three policy positions and they reach far and broadly across race and even party lines. Trump looking weak on China would give the Dems an opportunity if they could find a China Hawk to run in 2028.
If he were to visit Xi that would be viewed as him kneeling hard. If he were to meet President Xi during an international event, ok, but visiting China and propping up the communist party? At a time in which they are illegally holding Americans, this would hurt him dearly.
Trump has to stand his ground and bring America back. Don't trust a word China gives. Force them to open up their nation to U.S investment in real estate, internet access, the whole nine yards. Otherwise, hit them with 75%+ tariffs. Those tariffs were making citizens demand changes to their system. That is Reagan like history if he made China become free and capitalist.

China denied on Tuesday that it is doing anything wrong as it reportedly prevents "dozens" of Americans from leaving the country under an "exit ban" policy, including at least one U.S. government official.
Reports emerged Monday afternoon that an American citizen, an employee of the Commerce Department, has been barred from leaving China and prevented from returning to the U.S. since his passport, credit card, cellphone and iPad were seized on April 14, reported The New York Times.
The passport was reportedly returned to the individual one week later on April 22, though he was told he was not allowed to leave China.
The identity of the government official remains unknown, though a spokesperson for the State Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that the individual is a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office employee and was traveling to China "in a personal capacity."
While it is unclear if any other U.S. government officials have been barred from leaving China, a spokesperson for Beijing’s foreign ministry, Guo Jiakun, told reporters on Tuesday during a press briefing that he had no additional details to share.
"China upholds the rule of law and handles entry and exit affairs in accordance with the law," he said.
In response to Fox News Digital's questions, the State Department said, "The Chinese government has, for many years, imposed exit bans on U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals in China, often without a clear and transparent process for resolution.
"We track these cases closely, and have raised our concern with Chinese authorities about the well being of our citizens and impact these arbitrary exit bans have on our bilateral relations and urged them to immediately allow impacted U.S. citizens to return home," a spokesperson added.
