The Chinese vice president will come to Trump’s inauguration

According to Beijing, Chinese Vice President Chan will be a special envoy of the Chinese head of state. “We are ready to work with the new American administration to improve dialogue and communication,” said a spokesman for Chinese diplomacy, according to AFP.

According to him, China respects the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and cooperation beneficial to both sides.

When Trump was first in the White House, he imposed tariffs on Chinese imports into the United States, which Beijing criticized. The next US president recently promised even stricter measures against the Chinese economy. Beijing is criticized for unfair trade practices or the spread of the drug fentanyl.

According to the media, Trump’s team invited Chinese President Xi to the inauguration. Heads of state usually do not participate in the presidential swearing-in ceremony, and individual countries are often represented at the level of ambassadors.

Some leading politicians who are ideologically close to Trump were invited to Washington for the inauguration. These are, for example, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloniova or Argentine President Javier Milea.
