The China-Russia Summit

May 21, 2026

Beijing has become an increasingly popular destination for world leaders. Over the past ten months, 18 heads of state and government visited China. Among them were President Trump, King Felipe VI of Spain, President Halla Tómasdóttir, Prime Minister Micheál Martin, President Macron, Prime Minister Sánchez, Chancellor Merz, Prime Minister Starmer, Prime Minister Carney, and Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. Trump’s visit was the first time a US President visited China in almost nine years, the last one being Trump’s visit in 2017.

Trump’s state visit was originally planned for the first week of April, but the meeting was postponed to 14-15 May due to the war in Iran. Thus, his visit was immediately followed by Putin’s visit, boosting China’s global image.

As part of this effort, on May 1, 1973, the US opened a liaison office in Beijing to handle all matters in the US-China relationship “except the strictly formal diplomatic aspects of the relationship.” China created a counterpart office in Washington the same year. Finally, on January 1, 1979, the US recognized the People’s Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China and established diplomatic relations with it.
