How Trump’s China visit may hint the ‘2 eyes of the world’ are learning to live together

Within just 43 hours, the 79-year-old president held two meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, inspected troops, attended a state banquet and walked around the Temple of Heaven in sweltering heat – not to mention making his characteristic social media postings in the wee hours of the morning.Showing no signs of jet lag, Trump seemed to be in high spirits, glad-handing everyone he met and looking genuinely happy. In Beijing, he was on his best behaviour, temporarily abandoning the signature antics he has so often deployed to bamboozle other world leaders. He followed protocol, spoke like a consummate diplomat and – despite his well-known abstinence from alcohol – even appeared to take a sip of champagne when toasting his Chinese hosts.
