Chinese President Xi Jinping’s letter to former friends in Iowa is being examined ahead of his highly anticipated trip to the United States, the South China Morning Post reported. The outreach forms part of a broader look at how a presidential appeal to America’s heartland is being received in a changing United States. The report is the sixth instalment in a series by Khushboo Razdan.
Xi’s planned visit is expected to draw global attention, particularly to the relationship between Washington and Beijing. The two countries have agreed to work towards what they describe as “constructive strategic stability”. The central question, according to the supplied material, is whether the United States and China can turn that agreement into progress when their presidents meet in Washington.
The excerpt does not provide details of the letter’s contents or responses from the Iowa recipients.
