Former ambassador to China: President Xi Jinping is playing Trump like a fiddle

Former ambassador to China: President Xi Jinping is ‘playing Trump like a fiddle’ with extravagant state visit

Xi Jinping, the President of the People’s Republic of China, is “playing [Donald] Trump like a fiddle,” Mexico’s former ambassador to China Jorge Guajardo said Thursday.


Guajardo said that a “bilateral relationship with the US is now just a matter of stroking Trump’s ego,” noting “that’s all it takes.”

They always think they are the smartest man in the room. Definitely not true in Trump's case.
