Abstract
China under the leadership of President Xi Jinping has maintained strategic concentration since the election of President Donald Trump who has shown an anti-establishment approach to domestic and foreign affairs. China adheres to its diplomatic principles of preserving core national interests, making overall strategic agendas, going with the trends of the times, and seeking progress while stabilizing China-U.S. relations. China also attaches great importance to summit diplomacy and has achieved early outcomes through Xi-Trump meetings at both Mar-a-Lago and Hamburg. Nevertheless, China has yet to meet daunting challenges on its road ahead to a more stable, cooperative, and predictable relationship with the United States under President Trump.
